The quarter-finals fixtures for the 2022 Rugby League World Cup are being locked in over the final weekend of action during the group stage.
The quarter-finals will be played between Friday November 4 and Sunday November 6 - that's Saturday November 5 and Monday November 7 in Australia, and all four matches will be direct knockout games with the winners passing to the semi-finals.
Of the four groups, Group A and D will be set on one side of the draw, while Group B (featuring Australia) and Group C (featuring New Zealand) will be on the other side of the draw.
Samoa finished in second spot in Group A following their win over France in the final week, with a huge quarter-final clash against Tonga who topped Group D to be played as the final fixture in the opening week of finals.
Meanwhile Papua New Guinea will present a challenge for England after an impressive group showing, only losing to group winners Tonga by six points in the opening contest.
On the other side of the draw, Australia and New Zealand topped their respective groups. The Kangaroos will take on Lebanon, who join the Kiwis in progressing out of C, while New Zealand will take on Fiji in a repeat of the boilover from the 2017 World Cup which was held in Australia and New Zealand.
