Original: rugby league world cup

England have named their men's squad for the Rugby League World Cup opener against Tonga, with Kallum Watkins called up and Warrington players pictured training in Australia. Australian coverage, meanwhile, has been critical, with the ABC arguing the tournament draw's lopsided results help nobody. Fans in Britain and the United States are following squad announcements and fixtures closely.

Why now: The Rugby League World Cup is under way, with England's squad named for the Tonga opener and debate over lopsided results in Australia.
