FIJI has their answer to England's Burgess brothers after the Sims siblings agreed to represent the nation at this year's World Cup.

Cowboy Ashton Sims, who represented the island country at the last world cup, confirmed North Queensland teammate and brother Tariq and Newcastle's Korbin would join him playing in the black and white at the UK-based tournament.

The trio of NRL brothers all qualify through their mother Jacquline, who was born in Fiji.

"They've all said yes (and) I'd be really excited about that," Ashton said of Tariq and Korbin.

"Playing for Fiji would be great and I know my mum's side of the family will definitely be over the moon.

"They were over the moon when I played for Fiji back in '08, so it's something that we'd cherish as a family and as a brotherhood."

Jarryd Hayne and Akuila Uate played for Fiji alongside Sims at the 2008 tournament and have since stamped themselves genuine NRL superstars along with becoming representative regulars in State of Origin and for Australia.

Sims said the Fiji experience played a key role in their development.

He predicted a similar impact for his highly-rated younger brothers.

"It's just a really good experience to see how they live life over there," Ashton said.

"You have a look at all the pictures of Fiji and you see the beautiful water and people holidaying with beers on the beach, but it's not like that in the whole country. You've got to see the whole countryside to see how good we've got it over here.

"It's something you take in and it humbles you."

But first Sims' focus is ensuring he enters the World Cup in good form by keeping the Cowboys' slim hopes of finals alive.

The 28-year-old, who has also played with St George Illawarra and Brisbane since debuting in 2003, will play his 200th NRL game when he runs out against top-of-the-table South Sydney at 1300SMILES Stadium tomorrow night.

"It's amazing to reflect and think it's been a fair while (playing in the NRL)," Sims said.

"I was just an 18-year-old punk kid with long hair and questionable body odor coming out of Gerringong."

"But hopefully I've got a few more good years left in me, which I think I do.

"But I'm just looking forward to this weekend, playing against a good pack, a good team and looking to get the two points."

While individual milestones have rarely coincided with victories for Cowboys players this year, Sims is keen to "buck the trend".

"That's something we're looking to do this weekend," he said.

Winger Antonio Winterstein will play his 100th NRL game against the Bunnies.
