Hull KR defeated NRL champions Brisbane Broncos 30-24 to win the World Club Challenge, becoming the first English club to hold all four major trophies since 2007.

Hull KR secured a dramatic victory over NRL champions Brisbane Broncos in the World Club Challenge. Super League leaders Mikey Lewis' kicking game and tries from debutant Tom Amone, Elliot Minchella, Joe Burgess, Oliver Gildart and Peta Hiku gave the Robins a 30-4 lead.

Brisbane mounted a ferocious second-half fightback, scoring four tries in 16 minutes to close the gap, but Hull KR held on to become only the sixth English club to win the competition since 1987.
