Wales should have took the 2 points when they had chance.

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.

I wonder if Super League clubs will take notice of PNG’s performance and move in to sign some of their players. The PNG Hunters players can’t earn much money and would surely be tempted to move to a Super League club on a fairly low value contract.

Only just watching the highlights of this on BBC.

PNG are very impressive.

How good is it to see Shaun Edwards talking RL in mainstream media as well.

Just seen highlights. The noise from the crowd was spine tingling. Great stuff

Great performance by PNG and good to see such a vocal and enthusiastic crowd.

Am i right in thinking that PNG is the only place in the world where it is the National sport?

Spear chucking.

Yes. Which is why it's great to see them do well, such a passionate bunch.

The entire PNG backline, plus the Albert brothers Wellington and Stanton, plus the hookers (all 4), were fantastic. PNG could beat England.

Isn't it time that Super League clubs started offering lucrative contracts to PNG players?

Ruddy loved this game.

Ms. Terrorista V2. who knows knack all about RL and isn't really that bothered was just blown away by the sheer physicality of The Kumuls and the passion of the crowd.

Anyone who cannot see the point of the World Cup, and I'm looking at you, Australian gormclops on the Australia vs. England, after the games we've seen today doesn't deserve to ever watch a game again.

They looked good today Wellington Albert looks decent but they wouldn't beat England same as Samoa Tonga and Fiji they fade as the game goes on against the decent sides as proved today in the NZ game

PNG was an Australian protectorate till 1975 and their entire public service sector was basically from Queensland. They still send all their kids from wealthy families to school in Queensland and fly to Queensland if they need first world healthcare.
In short, most of their borrowed western culture is pure Queensland (shudder) - which means Rugby League is their game.
PNG has a population of 8 million, which means it has double or triple the population of the rest of the South Pacific Islands put together, and their economy is also close to double the rest of the Pacific Islands.
They are a very poor country still, but their economy is growing at a rapid rate from a very low base. The new stadium, opened just this year, is an example of how they are growing and expanding. Just six months ago they didn't have a stadium good enough to host these games.

you'll find that the Kumuls being Melanesian will generally have bigger motors than the Polynesians, seem to be better built for endurance
