Australia Crowned World Champions After the Battle of Brisbane
As dawn broke on another sunny Brisbane day, judgement day had finally arrived. After twenty-seven group and knockout games the best two sides in the World, Australia and England, would meet at the Suncorp Stadium to decide the World Champions.
The bookies and the pundits gave England slightly less chance than that of a ‘snowball in hell' and with considerable disruption to the side through the loss of skipper Sean O'Loughlin and hooker Josh Hodgson, Wayne Bennett knew his side would need to play not only their game of the tournament, but that of their lives, to win the ultimate prize.
The question on everyone's lips was whether England would roar like lions or go like lambs to the slaughter.
