Kiwis, Ferns chasing 2008 magic in World Cup encore at Suncorp

New Zealand’s men’s and women’s rugby league teams will face Australia in the 2026 World Cup finals at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on Sunday. The Kiwis and Ferns are seeking to end Australia’s run of three consecutive tournament doubles, last achieved by New Zealand in 2008. Both New Zealand sides enter as underdogs, with the men returning to the final for the first time since 2013.
