The Dominant Force in Rugby League

Although Australia lost the World Cup final to New Zealand in November 2008, there remains little doubt that if a World XIII were to be picked at any moment, the Kangaroos would still provide the majority of players.

Aided and abetted by the world's strongest domestic tournament in the guise of the National Rugby League, Australia continue to produce a quite staggering line-up of talent.

Greg Inglis and Darren Lockyer are perhaps the two most respected figures within the Kangaroos' set-up, with Lockyer leading his national side as captain and Inglis able to play in almost any position in the back line and to play there with extreme style.

Players that Would Walk into Any Other Side

The likes of Scott Prince, Johnathan Thurston, Justin Hodges and Michael Luck would not only get into any club side in the world, they could easily walk straight into starring roles with any of the other world rugby league powers. In fact, the likes on England and New Zealand would eagerly accept them.

The Kangaroos are coached by Tim Sheens, who replaced Ricky Stuart after the World Cup disaster. He has brought a wealth of experience to the post, as he was the first person to coach 500 NRL games during a career at Penrith Panthers, Canberra Raiders, North Queensland and Wests Tigers.
