Papua New Guinea will take on Cook Islands in the Rugby World Cup on October 25 at Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington, England. Papua New Guinea lost 24-18 to Tonga in their Rugby League World Cup opener, but may well keep their qualifying hopes alive against the Cook Islands. Cumulus held on against Tonga but Kukis came back at the last minute to beat Wales 18-12. Edwin Ipape stared at his PNG show in its opening loss, earning Man of the Match honors and scoring an excellent try for Lachlan Lam. Ipappe, who was named Championship Player of the Year during Lee’s promotion in 2022, could have been too hot for the Cook Islands with dummy-half where he gained a lot of yards with 11 scoots.
Hooker is in great form and looks like a big prize to score first with an 18-1 record. The two played each other five times, with PNG drawing the lottery. They scored 192 points in these games, which is an average of 38.4 points per game, and they can do business with point-filled games. The Cook Islands have started the tournament well with a win over Wales, and appear to be showing the full potential of their ability to claim the quarter-final place that many are hoping for. We struggled in the match but lost to Tonga. PNG could score more points than Wales against the Cook Islands, but the Cook Islands attack should eventually overwhelm her PNG and lead them to a second group stage win.
