Australia's Rugby League team returns after 22 years: Coach reveals missed opportunities.
According to The Sun: Kevin Walters admits that it was a big mistake to miss 22 years without a series of Test matches in rugby league. He plans to explain to the Australian players the significance of this event by using his own experience and videos of classic tests.
Kevin Walters believes that the absence of a Test series between England and Australia was a 'missed opportunity'
In October, the Kangaroos team will arrive on these shores to play against England in a three-match series. Currently, over 110,000 tickets for these matches have already been sold. However, the fact that this is the first series since 2003 when they played against Great Britain, and the first match of any kind since 2017, underscores how long this hiatus in matches has been.
The lack of a Test series in rugby league for 22 years has proven to be a significant loss. Walters aims to explain to the Australian players the importance of such competitions and show what opportunities have been lost because of this. Now football fans are looking forward to an exciting three-match series with stakes. Additionally, it also highlights how long meetings of this level have been absent, making this event even more anticipated and significant.
