Wales
head coach John Kear has made two changes to his 21-man squad for their
final Rugby League World Cup match against Ireland in Perth on Sunday.
Gavin Bennion, who joined the squad in Townsville, could make his international debut while Matty Seamark returns from injury.All 17 of the players who featured in the World Cup record 72-6 defeat by Fiji last weekend have been retained.
Wales will again be underdogs and have not won a World Cup game since 2000.
Kear's team lost their opening game of this tournament 50-6 against co-hosts Papua New Guinea in a sweltering Port Moresby.
The Irish have to beat Wales and rely on an unlikely USA win over PNG earlier on Sunday to progress to the quarter-finals.
Ireland lost narrowly 14-6 to PNG and beating Italy 36-12 in their opening match.
Wales squad: Danny Ansell, Matty Barron, Gavin Bennion, Joe Burke, Michael Channing, Courtney Davies, Ben Evans, Matty Fozard, Andy Gay, Regan Grace, Dalton Grant, Phil Joseph, Elliot Kear, Morgan Knowles, Craig Kopczak, Rhodri Lloyd, Ben Morris, Steve Parry, Christiaan Roets, Matty Seamark, Rhys Williams.
