The semi-finals for the men’s Rugby League World Cup is here and Kevin Walters has made some big selection calls.
Australian Kangaroos coach Kevin Walters made notable selection decisions ahead of the Rugby League World Cup semi-finals, leaving James Tedesco on the bench while omitting Latrell Mitchell and Sam Walker. Tedesco acknowledged his backup role behind starting fullback Reece Walsh, while Fox League analyst Greg Alexander suggested tactical and defensive considerations factored into Mitchell and Walker being bypassed for the lineup.
Meanwhile, Kangaroos players Liam Martin and Harry Grant pushed back against suggestions that Australian players lack the passion shown by rival Pacific nations. Following massive fan celebrations in Hawaii and Utah during the Tonga and Samoa clash, discussions have also emerged regarding potential international fixtures in the United States.
