The Brisbane Broncos will have three players in the Kangaroos squad for the rugby league World Cup after Karmichael Hunt and Darius Boyd were today selected as injury replacements.

Hunt and Boyd will replace Broncos team-mate Justin Hodges and Manly's Brett Stewart. Both players have withdrawn because of shoulder injuries.

Boyd will join St George Illawarra in 2009.

Stewart joined Hodges, who pulled out yesterday, on the sidelines after advice from Australian team medical staff today.

Club captain Darren Lockyer is the third member of Brisbane's World Cup contingent.

The squad goes into camp in Sydney on Saturday.
