Tonight is a momentous night in Coventry, as Australia vs Scotland, the World Cup holders.
It’s a great opportunity for Scotland to face one of the world’s best players, put themselves to the test, and put on a brave performance following their defeat against Italy.
In the second week of the Rugby League World Cup in Coventry, Australia and Scotland will square off. This is Zero Tackle’s complete guide to the game, including information on how to watch or live stream it.
The match will begin at 5:30 a.m. (AEDT) on Saturday, October 22 at the Coventry Building Society Arena. That is 7:30 p.m. local time in England on Friday evening.
The Kangaroos started their tournament with a thumping victory over Fiji. Clunky early on, the Australians, who have made numerous changes for the game against Scotland, eventually found their feet and broke the 40-point mark.
Scotland, on the other hand, had the worst conceivable start to their campaign, losing to Italy in a result that could only be described as unexpected.
Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know about the game.
