 RLWC2017 - England v. Lebanon Report England came into tonight's game in Sydney with some trepidation against an almost unknown Lebanon side who had performed so brilliantly last week in their win over France.
The injury to Sam Burgess meant that Ben Currie was in the starting line up with Alex Walmsley, now recovered from a virus, given a position on the bench. Giving more of his squad some game time, coach Bennett brought in Ratchford for Lomax in the starting line up, and Williams for Roby on the bench.
It was a carnival like atmosphere as a massive Lebanese following hoped to cheer Brad Fittler's side to one of the all-time World Cup upsets.
