Wagga rugby hero makes World Cup debut, but not for the Kangaroos

Key points

• Wagga-born Latrell Siegwalt made his international debut at the Rugby League World Cup, playing for France rather than the Kangaroos. His selection traces back to his grandfather George, who was born in France and moved to Australia after World War II.
• Siegwalt played all 80 minutes of France's opening match against Samoa at CommBank Stadium on Friday 16 October, which France lost 78 to 4.
• France's next match is against England in Perth on Saturday 24 October at 5:35 pm AEDT, and Siegwalt has been selected to play.
