Mark Aston has named an unchanged Ireland said to face Papua New Guinea.
The Wolfhounds picked up an excellent victory over Italy in their opening match and could now take a huge step towards qualification through Group C should they defeat PNG.
The winner of the clash will be in the driving seat to qualify after The Kumuls defeated Wales in their first match.
Michael Marum has made just one change for the clash, with Stargroth Amean replacing PNG Hunters hooker Wartovo Puara, who started against Wales.
It means Kurt Baptise, who has been linked with a move to Warrington, will start against Ireland in Port Moresby.
