Papua New Guinea have named their 24-man squad for the upcoming World Cup.
The lineup contains a number of Australian based stars including representative backrower Neville Costigan and dynamic hooker Paul Aiton, as well as under 20 players Jay Aston and David Moore.
Veteran John Wilshere (pictured) will captain the Kumuls, who have a tough draw after being placed in the same pool as competition heavyweights Australia, New Zealand and England.
However, Costigan says his team has the ability to shock some of their more fancied rivals.
