I think Australia are relieved they are hosting in 2027 - else they'd be in danger of needing to qualify! There's a LOT of dog in Portugal, and none at all in Australia, which is very un-Australian. If Fiji nail the door shut, you wonder what Australia would even turn up v the Portuguese, who are limited as you would expect, but nobody's mugs
