Holders Australia will face Fiji, Italy and Scotland at next year's Rugby League World Cup following Thursday's group stage draw that took place under the keen eye of Prince Harry, who made his first public appearance since announcing he and his wife Meghan were to quit as full-time royals.

Harry, 35, is patron of the Rugby Football League, the sport's governing body in England, and his participation in the draw at Buckingham Palace was planned long before last week's shock announcement.
