Ireland will be hoping to get their World Cup campaign off to a winning start when they meet minnows Jamaica at Headingley as the Reggae Warriors make their Cup debut.
Best Bet
Despite the fact Ireland are not a renowned Rugby League powerhouse, they will have few problems with a Jamaican team made up primarily of amateur or semi-pro players.
Luke Keary and Jaimin Jolliffe join a Wolfhuonds team made up primarily of Super League players or players from the top tier of teams in the Championship. Jamaica have just a few recognised names including Michael Lawrence, Ashton Golding and Ben Jones-Bishop.
Since the last World Cup, Irleand have a 5-2 record with their loses coming to France and Wales. They also have a 34-6 win over Wales and a 25-4 win over Italy.
As long as the Wolfhounds are not ring rusty, they should really inflict some pain on the Reggae Warriors.
Same Game Multi
The 2020 Lance Todd Trophy winner Richie Myler has slowed down none with 45 tries in 113 games since moving to Leeds.
Ed Chamberlain had a big year for Championship winners Leigh with 17 tries in 30 appearances.
Value Bet
Wolfhounds rake Joshua Cook has always been a sharp dummy half who is a threat to score. He looks an excellent price with Ireland likely to be on the front foot for much of the game.
