Lebanon's team of tradies win in all-time great finish at World Cup

Rugby league fans had been salivating over what might transpire at Western Sydney Stadium on November 1 for months. It was the first fixture of the World Cup to sell out weeks ago. Everyone was hyping it up as the moment we would see this tournament catch fire and the international men's game ascend to higher levels than ever seen before. There was a triple header here, the Jillaroos against Wales, followed by Lebanon and France, to whet the appetite before the main event of Tonga and Samoa.
