Australia beat New Zealand 32-12 at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium to win the Rugby League World Cup for the 13th time in 16 editions of the international showpiece.
Forward Liam Martin crossed twice to help the Kangaroos to a 24-6 halftime lead and two more tries after the break proved enough to secure the hosts a fourth successive title since New Zealand’s sole triumph in 2008.
Australia also won the women’s title after beating New Zealand 32-12.
