    Benji Marshall will pass Gary Freeman as the most capped Kiwis captain of all time when he leads the side in Friday night's Rugby League test against Australia in Wollongong

    Benji Marshall will pass Gary Freeman as the most capped Kiwis captain of all time when he leads the side in Friday night's Rugby League test against Australia in Wollongong

    Coach Michael McGuire has handed Marshall the captaincy as the side starts preparations.

    The 34 year old will captain New Zealand for the 20th time but first time since 2012 after ending a seven year international absence by playing against Tonga in June.

    Eddie Jones has braced England to face what he is claiming is the most dominant team in the history of sport.

    Jones points to the All Blacks' win percentage of 86 since successfully defending the Webb Ellis Trophy four years ago to support his view that they occupy a unique position.

    But he's convinced the All Blacks can be dethroned in Saturday's Rugby World Cup semi-final.

    Raelene Castle has resisted responding to Michael Cheika's astonishing revelation of broken relationships at the top of Rugby Australia, but she says the Wallabies have failed to fire under the departing coach.
