The Rugby League World Cup has finally arrived in England \u2013 12 months after it should have kicked off.<\/p>\n
The 2021 edition of the tournament was postponed due to a fresh wave of COVID restrictions and the inability of teams such as Australia and New Zealand to travel to the UK.<\/p>\n
Organisers will breathe a sigh of relief that the competition has landed and a new champion will be crowned in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Australia arrive as the team to beat with 11 titles to their name in 15 prior editions of the tournament. New Zealand are the only other active team to have won a trophy \u2013 in 2008 \u2013 while the disbanded Great Britain team won three editions between 1954 and 1972.<\/p>\n
Fans across the globe will be desperate to soak up the tournament on TV, and the great news for British fans is that they can enjoy it all on free-to-air TV via BBC\u2019s extensive coverage.<\/p>\n
