Keaon Koloamatangi cleared to play in upcoming World Cup

Keaon Koloamatangi of the South Sydney Rabbitohs has received medical clearance for this year's World Cup. The forward recently made his debut for the Australian Kangaroos in the 2025 Ashes series after opting to represent Australia instead of Tonga. Despite undergoing knee surgery, Koloamatangi confirmed his readiness and stated he is excited about contributing to the Kangaroos. This development is a significant boost for Australia, which may be without Hudson Young and Isaah Yeo. Koloamatangi has signed a deal to join St George Illawarra Dragons after the season ends.
