Mark Chapman is in the chair for Group D action in Warrington as 2017 quarter-finalists PNG take on the Cook Islands, who have never gone beyond the group stages at a World Cup.

Rugby league is the national sport for The Kumuls – as PNG are also known – and in a group with three Pacific nations in it, pride and territorial bragging rights are also at stake.

The Cook Islands come to Britain with happy memories of the northern hemisphere – they grabbed their first World Cup win, a 28-24 victory over Wales, in the Principality in 2013.
