World Cup Late Mail: Tedesco called up as Roos lose Mitchell
Official late mail and updates for the 2026 Men's Rugby League World Cup Final.
NOTE: The World Cup will be played under NRL rules with six players on the interchange bench. Only four of those players may be used as per NRL rules.
Australia: The Kangaroos have been forced into a change on Saturday with Latrell Mitchell dropping out due to illness. Mitchell did not take part in the captain’s run at Suncorp Stadium and will be replaced on the six-man interchange by James Tedesco. Coach Kevin Walters had originally named the same 19-man squad that downed Samoa in the semi-final with Pat Carrigan listed to start and Keaon Koloamatangi on the bench, although they may swap on game day again as they did last week. After being a late call-up onto the six-man interchange last Sunday, Sam Walker again gets the nod alongside Ethan Strange, Cameron Murray, Reuben Cotter, Koloamatangi and Tedesco. The Australian side contains eight players who were part of the 2022 World Cup Final win over Samoa – Cameron Munster, Harry Grant, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Isaah Yeo, Liam Martin, Murray, Carrigan and Mitchell.
