Plans were today unveiled for a rugby league World Cup to be held in Australia in the autumn of 2008, as part of the celebrations to mark the centenary of the game in the southern hemisphere.
It will be the first rugby league World Cup since Britain staged the 2000 event and follows Australia’s success in hosting the recent rugby union World Cup.
