Australia has regained the Rugby League World Cup Trophy after thrashing New Zealand 34-2 in the Rugby League World Cup final early this morning.

It was a neat display from the Kangaroos, who scored five unanswered tries and have now won the trophy 10 times.

Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk touched down and Johnathan Thurston kicked two penalties as the Kangaroos built a 16-2 lead at the break.

Slater scored seconds after the restart and Brett Morris twice as Australia hammered their opponents.
