_TV Show Notes_
Highlights of England's opening game in the 2008 Rugby League
World Cup in Townsville, Australia.
The first World Cup was held back in 1951, but there have only
been 11 tournaments since, the last of which was eight years ago.
Hosts Australia have lifted the World Cup nine times and will be
favourites to triumph once again. England, who are under the
stewardship of Australian-born Tony Smith, will hope to at least
reach the final. Many of their squad were part of the Great Britain
team that beat New Zealand in the Test series in 2007, and star
players are likely to include captain Jamie Peacock and
newly-crowned Man of Steel James Graham.
There are also highlights of Australia's first match of the
tournament, against old rivals New Zealand, whom they beat in the
2000 World Cup final at Old Trafford.
Coverage is presented by Dave Woods, with studio guests Ian
Millward and former Great Britain head coach Brian Noble.
