Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "Why wasn’t the Fiji PNG game held in Port Moresby instead of a suburb in Sydney?
We saw at the World Cup the PNG fans are passionate and turn up in big numbers, they sold out every game at the World Cup.'"
These Pacific Island Test matches between PNG, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga are now, hopefully, an annual event in Sydney. They were played in Western Sydney where thousands of these islanders live. I enjoyed the day out with great atmosphere produced by the 4 competing team supporters. Tonga were outstanding in their defeat of Samoa and carried on with their World Cup form.
Yesterday I went to the SOO 2 match which was a cracker. Probably will rate as the most watched TV programme so far this year. Only downside to the result was that I am a Qld supporter!
