LEBANON
If Lebanon are to cause what would be the biggest upset in RLWC history, they will need the likes of Mitchell Moses, Adam Doueihi and Jacob Kiraz to be at the top of their game with the latter likely to return to the line-up at fullback after sitting out the win over Jamaica.
Squad: 1 Jacob Kiraz, 2 Josh Mansour, 3 Bilal Maarabani, 4 Brad Morkos, 5 Abbas Miski, 6 Adam Doueihi, 7 Mitchell Moses, 8 Kayne Kalache, 10 Hanna El-Nachar, 11 Elie El-Zakhem, 12 Charbel Tasipale, 13 James Roumanos, 14 Anthony Layoun, 15 Andrew Kazzi, 16 Reece Robinson, 17 Jalal Bazzaz, 18 Khaled Rajeb, 19 Khalil Rahme, 20 Jaxson Rahme
THE PREDICTION
Australia look every inch the Rugby League World Cup winners in-waiting after producing some convincing performances in an unbeaten group campaign. They topped Pool B on the back of some dominant displays and it will take a team of real quality to topple them. Lebanon stand in their way here having finished second behind New Zealand and while they boast a handful of players that can cause the Kangaroos some issues, the overall gulf in quality across the two teams is likely to be evident with the Australians able to win this by at least 30 points.
