Australia edged out England in a tight and nervy Rugby League World Cup final to retain the trophy at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. England produced a dogged and resilient performance in their first final for 22 years, but the Kangaroos held on to win an 11th world title. Boyd Cordner smashed through for the only try of the game as England restricted Australia to six points.
It was a monumental effort from England against a team who came into the game as overwhelming favourites. Australia's victory, though, completed a World Cup double for the country, with the women's team having beaten New Zealand 23-16 earlier.
