Australia v England: World Cup final head to head

Cooper Cronk v Luke Gale

England meet Australia in the World Cup final on Saturday, but who has the better team? Make your selection for each position...

These sides met in the World Cup opener in Melbourne last month, with England losing 18-4 despite only trailing by six points with five minutes remaining. It was England's 12 consecutive defeat at the hands of the defending champions - will they turn it around this week in the showpiece of the 2017 tournament?

There will be plenty of interesting clashes on the pitch, including Luke Gale against Cooper Cronk, and Sam Burgess taking on Josh McGuire. Who would you pick if you could choose between Jermaine McGillvary and Dane Gagai? Gareth Widdop or Billy Slater?
