Realistically I don't think England are in the same class as the very best teams atm, particularly with the squads where a lot of the Aussie talent has decided to play for.Not optimistic about the England squad at all. There's not that much real world-class quality around, so a few injuries (and some strange selections?) have hit us hard. On paper, the squad doesn't look as a good as Samoa and Tonga, never mind Aus and NZ. Ryan Hall, for God's sake?

However what they do have is home town advantage which cam definitely give them an extra leg not just in motivation but also condition experience and familiarty. I wouldn't discount that boost.
Mind you, in regards to squad strength I don't see it as Australia's best squad either, particularly in the forward pack.
Agreed. I can make a case for 4 winners, Australia, NZ, Tonga, Samoa.It's a great backline for the Kangaroos but, agreed, not a particularly strong pack. It is fit and mobile though so, if the unseasonal heat wave continues in old blighty, it could definitely work to their advantage.
I'd still put the Kangaroos as clear favourites however the Kiwis and Toa Samoa are not far behind and definitely have the squads to pull off an upset.
Tonga lack the class in the halves but should still be well in the mix.
This is probably the weakest England squad I've ever seen, I'd seriously put them on the same pegging as Fiji. They're going to need the weather to turn cold, dreary and soggy if they're any chance of containing the antipodean sides.
Other than that, PNG and Ireland have decent squads and could potentially pull off an upset or two. It should be a ripper tournament, can't wait.

That Samoan side with a few NRL guns should absolutely shit on England, but the home factor and crowd is a wildcard boost for them.Ryan Hall was a gun...10 years ago haha
Full list of every squad at the Rugby League World Cup 2021
Every nation competing at the men's 2021 Rugby League World Cup in England this autumn has officially confirmed their squad.www.loverugbyleague.com
England V Samoa in the first group match will be a great game.
I'm supporting Australia and Tonga. The only thing going for England is that they're hosting it.
