England renew their rivalry with Australia across three matches to be staged in the UK, starting with a firecracker opener at Wembley Stadium.
This is no fresh innovation: the Rugby League Ashes have been fought for between Great Britain and Australia across 39 editions dating back to 1908.
The series was cancelled following the 2003 edition, but it has been resurrected as an England versus Australia match-up.
Australia boast dominance in the pre-hiatus event having won 13 series in a row dating back to England's last triumph in 1970.
However, the overall record remains remarkably closely contested. Great Britain boast 20 victories to Australia's 19.
Players and officials will be determined to relight the fire and restore this series back to the top of the game.
