Harvey Norman Australian Jillaroos Coach Brad Donald has named his side for the Rugby League World Cup final against the New Zealand Kiwi Ferns on Sunday (AEDT) at Old Trafford.
Donald said the squad can’t wait to take to the field in their quest for a third straight World Cup title.
“We are really excited on improving on our last game against the Kiwis Ferns. We’ve got a really healthy squad with seven fresh players who are keen to improve on their third round performance,” Donald said.
“We’ve made a few small changes but expect a similar game from the Kiwi Ferns.
“The Kiwi Ferns took away our ability to play as quickly as we would have liked and we will be better off for our Round 3 match.
“Overall the 17 players taking the field are keen to get the job done for the entire squad who have been fantastic throughout this tournament.”
