Papua New Guinea, the most prestigious rugby league nation, joins the World Cup this year with unflinching confidence.

Their previous World Cup campaign came to an end in a 36-6 quarterfinal defeat to eventual runners-up England at Melbourne's AAMI Park

The Dragons are set to host the World Cup in their own nation, twenty years after one of the best periods for Welsh rugby league.
It will be a difficult challenge for them to play the Cook Islands in their opening game in Leigh. It will be extremely hard for them to win their upcoming games against Tonga and Papua New Guinea.
In 2018, they first played in an international match, losing to France 34-10 in Albi.
They have failed to advance past the World Cup group stage every year since 2000.
