England vs Australia live stream: How to watch Rugby League World Cup final online

These two teams met in the opening match of the tournament more than a month ago, Australia opening Group A with an 18-4 win over Sean O’Loughlin’s men.

The English defensive line was sorely tested but they held strong until the home side ran away with things in the last quarter.

England will also draw strength from the quality of their only try of the match against Jermaine McGilvary.
