Sun Oct 27, 12.30am AEDT (11.30pm Sat AEST): Australia v England 

Australia's first assignment to kick-off the competition is a tough one. Boasting the likes of Sam Tomkins, James Graham, Sam and George Burgess, the Kangaroos face England. The host nation will be desperate to get their campaign off to a flying start after suffering a shock loss to Italy in a trial match. With Australia opting to not play a trial ahead of the competition, the Englishmen are hoping to catch the Kangaroos cold.

Sun Nov 3, 7am AEDT (6am AEST): Australia v Fiji 

The Kangaroos' second game of the competition comes in the form of Fiji. Before you look too closely at the match-ups, seeing Petero Civenocieva lining up against his former Australian teammates should be enough to spike your interest. Aside from the legendary forward, dumped Aussie winger Akuila Uate will also be on show, and looking to prove a point. The Naiqama brothers (Wes and Kevin) and the Sims brothers (Korbin, Tariq and Ashton) will also line-up alongside each other for the first time.

Mon Oct 28, 5am AEDT (4am AEST): New Zealand v Samoa

The defending champions begin their title defence against Samoa. The Samoans boast the likes of Anthony Milford, Antonio Winterstein and Reni Maitua in their side and will be hungry to prove they are not just there to make up the numbers. Kiwis coach Kearney is also on the verge of World Cup greatness. If New Zealand can defend their title, he'll join Australians Bob Fulton and Harry Bath as the only coaches to oversee two World Cup wins.

Sat Nov 9, 7am AEDT (6am AEST): New Zealand v Papua New Guinea 

Built like bricks, PNG have never been one to shy away from a fight. With some handy players in their side like Titans speedster David Mead, Cowboys utility Ray Thompson, Knights backrower Neville Costigan and former Sharks hooker Paul Aiton, the Kiwis will have their hands full. Look out for the battle of the hookers with James Segeyaro going head-to-head with Issac Luke.

Mon Nov 11, 3am AEDT (2am AEST): Tonga v Italy

Italy knocked off a full strength England squad in a recent trial, making the Italians the dark horse of the competition. Led by premiership winning captain Anthony Minichiello, Italy face the likes of Brent Kite, Sika Manu and Jorge Taufua in what should be an action packed game, which is likely to decide the winner of Group C.

Fri Nov 8, 7am AEDT (6am AEST): Scotland v USA

The United States of America may be known for baseball, basketball and NFL but the Tomahawks had a surprise 22-18 trial win over fourth-ranked France. The Clint Newton-led side also features Joseph Paulo, Eddy Pettybourne and Ryan McGoldrick. Peter Wallace is looking to guide Scotland in the halves while Luke Douglas provides the muscle up front.
