THE PREDICTION

Jamaica will be out to enjoy their maiden Rugby League World Cup but the Reggae Warriors have it all to do in a tough group. They start off with this clash against quarter-final hopefuls Ireland who are able to boast a host of Super League talent among their ranks. The Irish know it is vital to get off to a strong start with anything but a win unacceptable. They have the better squad on paper and need to show it on the pitch but with Sydney Roosters’ Luke Keary set to pull the strings in the halves, he can guide his side to a straightforward win despite facing a game Jamaica with the margin likely to be at least 30 points.
