2014 Rugby League Four Nations TV viewing information: Channel 9 and Fox Sports will be covering Four Nations games in Australia. The BBC are the official broadcasting partner in the UK and will cover games England play. All games will also be shown live on Premier Sports.
Overview: England have kicked off their Four Nations campaign with a win after just getting home against Samoa 32 – 26 in the opening game of the Four Nations. Their next mission is to beat Australia in Melbourne. If England win they book their place in the Four Nations Final. If they lose they put all on the line in their last game of the Tournament against the Kiwis. The last time the two proud rugby league nations met was in the opening game of the 2013 RLWC where Australia just got home 28 – 20. England are yet to win a Four Nations series and a win over Australia will boost their chances.
Australian’s love nothing more than beating England in any sport. This match will be no different. The Kangaroos were dusted up in Brisbane by the Kiwis 30 – 12 in their opening match of the Four Nations. Currently sitting at the bottom of the Four Nations table it’s now or never for Australia. If they win against England they pretty much book a place in the Four Nations Final. If they lose Australia could miss out on the Four Nations final for the first time in the Tournaments short histroy.
