is at the emirates for us. cast your mind back four weeks to that opening day of this rugby league world cup, england went into that match with samoa as underdogs, they produced one of the most exhilarating performances by anyone of this rugby league world cup, they polled 60 points past samoa that day and i won't make any predictions about tomorrow, but i would be amazed if the score is anything like that tomorrow. early in the week i caught up with the england head coach and he said even he was rather surprised at how well this world cup competition is going for his side, they put in some really excellent performances, that opening day against samoa, and last weekend against samoa, and last weekend against papua new guinea in the quarterfinal, real highlights there, also delighted by the form of the likes of dom young, that game against samoa was his test match

debut. many didn't know much about him as he came into this. he has been quite extraordinary, nine tries in the opening four games, caught up with him at the emirates here this afternoon, he said he was absolutely delighted to be here, he couldn't wait to get playing at this magnificent stadium, but he was also very clear that opening match result against samoa bears absolutely no relevance to what will happen tomorrow afternoon. we relevance to what will happen tomorrow afternoon. we know it'll be a different game _ tomorrow afternoon. we know it'll be a different game this _ tomorrow afternoon. we know it'll be a different game this time. _ tomorrow afternoon. we know it'll be a different game this time. have - tomorrow afternoon. we know it'll be a different game this time. have got| a different game this time. have got their combinations sorted out, we are ready— their combinations sorted out, we are ready for that, but it's the same — message we have had each week, doing all of the _ message we have had each week, doing all of the little things and playing with a _ all of the little things and playing with a spirit. we don't want to soften— with a spirit. we don't want to soften our— with a spirit. we don't want to soften our mindset going into the game, _ soften our mindset going into the game, they have a lot of quality players — game, they have a lot of quality players and we need to take them at face value _ players and we need to take them at face value and, yes, we need to be ready— face value and, yes, we need to be ready for— face value and, yes, we need to be ready for a — face value and, yes, we need to be ready for a tougher challenge this week _ that was dom young speaking to me

here a little bit earlier on, all of the england team were here, they were training for about 30 minutes out in the middle, it looked like they were really more excited to be here in what will be a wonderful rugby league venue for the first time here for a world cup semifinal tomorrow. dharma's opposite winger came over to us at one point and said this page isjust dusty. —— dom young's opposite winger. what of samoa? after that opening defeat by england they really have grown into this tournament, they have become now the real international side that many of us expected them to be in this competition, culminating in that quarterfinal victory over tonga last weekend, they will be desperate to make it through to their first rugby league world cup final, england will have plenty to say about that and just imagine, with england in the men's semifinal tomorrow, england and wales in the wheelchair semifinal on sunday, and

then england's women in semifinal of then england's women in semifinal of the competition on monday, it is a mouthwatering prospect. hard the competition on monday, it is a mouthwatering prospect.- the competition on monday, it is a mouthwatering prospect. hard to keep u . mouthwatering prospect. hard to keep u- with all mouthwatering prospect. hard to keep up with all of— mouthwatering prospect. hard to keep up with all of these _ mouthwatering prospect. hard to keep up with all of these world _ mouthwatering prospect. hard to keep up with all of these world cups, - up with all of these world cups, enjoy tomorrow, thank you for the update. well before that england game, we've got our first semifinal tonight with australia taking on new zealand at elland road, for a place in next week's final. new zealand are the number one ranked side, australia are the defending champions. this one is all set up to an enthralling encounter. and it's one that our reporter joe lynskey will get to watch — he's in leeds for us. can anyone predict how this one is going to go? this can anyone predict how this one is going to go?— can anyone predict how this one is going to go? as this world cup gets in its more climactic _ going to go? as this world cup gets in its more climactic phase - going to go? as this world cup gets in its more climactic phase it - going to go? as this world cup gets in its more climactic phase it does l in its more climactic phase it does get more and more close to call and what an occasion here, we know what kind of atmosphere we get for football matches in this stadium, it is expected to be just as loud and just as vociferous tonight for a

meeting of two of the powerhouses of rugby league in a world cup semifinal, both australia and new zealand are really an ensemble of superstars, from the nrl, the elite, and electric domestic rugby league system. australian particular, when you think of the great international sporting teams, perhaps the us olympic basketball side, the resilient football side of the 1970s in the 1990s, australia two are able to pick the best players in the world in almost every position through the park, they have won the world cup 11 times, they have reached every single world cup final, apart from the inaugural edition back in 1954, and so it really is an upset for any site to come out of this tournament —— try to beat them out of the tournament, evenin to beat them out of the tournament, even in new zealand who are the number—one ranked side, that is mainly a mac may be because of australia's lack of game time since the last world cup in 2017 that that may be may die one of the bun abilities new to look at tonight and also the fact australia had not

really been tested in this world cup they breezed through the quarterfinal. i spoke to a player earlier about that and about what kind of occasion we are expecting tonight. kind of occasion we are expecting toniaht. :, kind of occasion we are expecting toniaht. ., , kind of occasion we are expecting toniaht. :, , ~ tonight. one of the things i think the need tonight. one of the things i think they need to _ tonight. one of the things i think they need to do _ tonight. one of the things i think they need to do is _ tonight. one of the things i think they need to do is put _ tonight. one of the things i think they need to do is put australia i they need to do is put australia under_ they need to do is put australia under pressure, when you are a young team _ under pressure, when you are a young team you _ under pressure, when you are a young team you don't have that experience at this— team you don't have that experience at this level, if you are chasing a game _ at this level, if you are chasing a game that— at this level, if you are chasing a game that makes it tough, makes you io game that makes it tough, makes you go outside _ game that makes it tough, makes you go outside your normal mindset, when you know— go outside your normal mindset, when you know this is a semifinal, and when _ you know this is a semifinal, and when you — you know this is a semifinal, and when you know that you are playing not only— when you know that you are playing not only the team in front of you but you — not only the team in front of you but you all— not only the team in front of you but you all playing against the clock— but you all playing against the clock as — but you all playing against the clock as well. i hope new zealand and what — clock as well. i hope new zealand and what they can do is come out with some — and what they can do is come out with some points early on the ball and then— with some points early on the ball and then try to settle into the game and then try to settle into the game and also _ and then try to settle into the game and also tried to make it messy for australia, — and also tried to make it messy for australia, try to knock them off their— australia, try to knock them off their stride, once australia gets a h a - flow they a flow they are going to into a normal flow they are going to be a into a normal flow they are going to he a tough — into a normal flow they are going to be a tough team to write—down and some _ be a tough team to write—down and some of— be a tough team to write—down and some of the — be a tough team to write—down and some of the most absolutely brilliant _ some of the most absolutely brilliant strike weapons that the game _ brilliant strike weapons that the game has ever seen, notjust this generation, — game has ever seen, notjust this generation, if new zealand can get
