The 2026 Rugby League World Cup (RLWC) is approaching, with Australia targeting their fourth consecutive title to maintain their status as world champions.
The Kangaroos' squad, rich in talent, will be spearheaded by the dynamic halves duo of Cameron Munster and Nathan Cleary, who previously guided the team to victory in the 2025 Ashes Series against England.
However, the international eligibility of players such as Keaon Koloamatangi, Payne Haas, and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui remains uncertain as they have not yet confirmed their participation for the upcoming tournament.
Notably, the roster for the 2026 RLWC differs from that of the 2022 edition, with only 13 of the 24 members expected to make a return.
