No they aren't. It was just a tasting. A decision will be made later as to whether the taste was good enough to warrant an eating.

Indeed

The progress in PNG is already remarkable.
It's less than 7 years since they formed a national comp.
They started rolling out a schools based comp only 3 years ago.
The Hunters entered the Qld cup 3 years ago, and won it for the first time on their 3rd attempt.
The new modern stadium only opened this year and the Hunters relocated from the old German capitol of Kokopo to Port Moresby this year.
Just a few weeks ago their national women's side had their first game in the leadup to the women's WC.

There is talk of PNG sides entering the qld under 18s and under 20s comps, which seems the next logical step, as well as school sides playing in the school knockout comps.

The progress they have made since the last WC is there for all to see, and you can see that all the things they are now doing and plan to do in the near future will mean that the progress will continue for the next 4 years at least.

If they continue to grow as they have, I can see them really being a threat to the big 3 by the time we head to North America.....

I was at the match in Port Moresby and also saw Scotland v Tonga in Cairns. I have to say that I'm wetting myself at the thought of PNG v Tonga - they'd feel the earth shaking on the M62. It could happen in this World Cup but, if I've read the fixture format for the quarters correctly, England v PNG in Melbourne looks very likely. Ouch!!

Good on you for making the effort.
If more people get to the games in Moresby the tourist industry there will take off, and that will be great for the game and for PNG.
