Levels with Willie Mason & Justin Horo

The opening week of the Rugby League World Cup has delivered, and Willie Mason, Justin Horo and Johno are back to break down all the action! The Kangaroos survive a massive scare against the Kiwis, with Reece Walsh producing a match-winning performance and Kalyn Ponga showing his class before injury. The boys debate Australia’s best 17, selection headaches and whether New Zealand let a golden opportunity slip. Samoa put 78 points on France in a dominant display, with the boys discussing the growing threat of the Pacific nations and the worrying state of French rugby league. PNG get the job done against Lebanon in Port Moresby, Tonga overcome England, and Fiji make a statement against the Cook Islands. Plus, the boys discuss England’s controversial selections under Brian McDermott, Latrell Mitchell’s place in the Australian side, the lack of UK television coverage and whether Australia and New Zealand should return to a three-Test series. All that and plenty more on Levels!
