The son of Triple M Grill Team's Matty Johns, Jack, is set to follow in the footsteps of his father (and Uncle Joey) when he makes his international debut at this weekend's opening game of the Rugby League World Cup.

Johns was named at halfback for Italy, in a squad featuring a load of NRL experience with the likes of James Tedesco, Josh Mantellato, Terry Campese, Paul Vaughn, Nathan Brown, Daniel Alvaro and captain Mark Minichello all named for the Azzurri. 

Italy take on Ireland in their opening World Cup game in Cairns on Saturday at 3pm.
