Cook Islands rugby league international commissioner Kevin Iro said the game featured the best line-up of rugby league players to have ever come to the Cook Islands for a match.

He said it was a star-studded match that may never be surpassed.

And to back that up, the country is hosting the Cook Islands tri-series matches in the week before the international match.

The series will pit Cook Islanders from here, Australia and New Zealand together in one competition.

Its massive, Iro said.

What there will be on the island is the hundred best Cook Islands rugby league players in the world playing against each other.

For the Cook Islands team, the main game is an early test of what may be their 2013 World Cup squad.

The message, then, is clear: this match is one you want to see in person.

Iro said people should get in early for a ticket or risk being disappointed.
