The Papua New Guinea under 19s rugby coach, Sydney Wesley, says today's Oceania Championship pool match against Cook Islands could be their toughest of the tournament.
PNG had a convincing 67-nil win over Vanuatu in their opening pool match, but Wesley says the side knows Cook Islands will be a completely different challenge.
"I expect a much tougher opponent than Vanuatu. I know the Cook Islands, a lot of their players are all, or most, are New Zealand based and they're quite big and I think they play a much more structured rugby than Vanuatu so I think it will be a lot tougher."
Sydney Wesley says his team will need to play their best rugby to beat win today, with Cook ISlands strong in all aspects of the game.
