Billy Slater has admitted that Saturday night’s Rugby League World Cup final in Brisbane may be his last for Australia.
The veteran fullback will run out at Suncorp Stadium in a World Cup final on Saturday for the first time since his 2008 brain explosion gifted Benji Marshall a try, sparking New Zealand’s upset win over Australia in the decider.
It was the last time the 10‑time champions lost a Cup game.
Slater admitted it took time to get over his infamous wayward pass in his Test rookie year but wasn’t thinking of making up for lost time come Saturday.

Instead, the 29 Test flyer was wondering how much time he had left in the Australian colours.
Slater says that he will make a decision on whether he will play Test matches in 2018 or whether he will hang it up at the end of this season.
Australia will face England at 10pm on this Saturday.
