Greece play Scotland tonight in a crucial World Cup qualification game at the New River Stadium in London, 7.30pm kick off. 

A win for Scotland will see them qualify for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup 2021 after they defeated Serbia 86-0 in their opening group game. A win for Greece and they will go into next weeks game with Serbia as red hot favourites to qualify. 

Scotland make one enforced change to their squad with Edinburgh born Mikey Mair receiving his first senior call-up replacing Scott Plumridge who has a back injury. Mair plays for Edinburgh Eagles and was a member of their double winning squad picking up the Scottish Cup and North East RL League titles. 

Three other changes to the Scotland squad see Brandan Wilkinson, Oscar Thomas and Joe McLean coming in for Adam Walker, Danny Addy and Ben Hellewell. 

Scotland Head Coach Nathan Graham said “We have had a good 5 weeks of preparation so far leading up to these qualifiers. As a group we were very pleased with the performance against Serbia but everyone in the camp recognises that Greece will be a very tough team to crack. They have some very good personnel with the likes of Billy Magoulias from Cronulla Sharks and Peter Mamouzelos from South Sydney who is a real livewire hooker.
