Public Fan Day cancelled

Brisbane?s worst storm in 25 years has forced the cancellation of tomorrow?s 2008 Rugby League World Cup public fan day in Brisbane but the Australian and New Zealand squads will give hundreds of school children in the storm-ravaged northern suburbs something to smile about.

With the poor weather forecast to continue tomorrow, the Queensland Government made the decision today to cancel the fan day, however the World Cup finalists will pay a special visit to an assembly at a school in one of the worst affected areas tomorrow (Wed Nov 18).

The visit takes place just three days before Australia and New Zealand do battle in the World Cup Final at Brisbane?s Suncorp Stadium on Saturday at 7pm.
