The winner of next month's Pacific rugby league tests will square off in another test later this year, in a bid to qualify for the Four Nations.
The PNG Kumuls take on Fiji Bati on May the 2nd, as part of a double header on the Gold Coast, followed by Toa Samoa against Mate Ma'a Tonga.
The tests come a day after the Kiwis and Kangaroos renew their rivalry at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
The winners of the respective Pacific tests will then play-off in October, with the victor joining Australia, New Zealand and England in the 2016 Four Nations.
