Australia’s first two pool games gave Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga the opportunity to have a look at everyone and tweak his team to find the best combinations.
But with just one to go and the finals just around the corner, we’ll likely get a better idea of what Meninga’s first choice 17 is when Australia take on Italy this Saturday night (5.30am Sunday AEDT).
Meninga said before the tournament kicked off that only skipper and fullback James Tedesco was locked in — every other position was up for grabs.
