Papua New Guinea v Samoa News
Location(s): Port Moresby
Stadium(s):PNG Football Stadium
Competition(s): International Test/ Rugby League World Cup
Whilst there could be arguments to be made that Rugby League is the dominant sport in both Australia and New Zealand, there is only country to have it as its national sport and that is Papua New Guinea.
Rugby League is a part of day-to-day life for most Papuans, and the sport is seen more as a religion than it is entertainment.
That maybe difficult to understand, well at least until game day for the PNG Kumuls, when there is an incredible buzz across the country, the PNG National Stadium see’s fans arrive hour before kick-off and the atmosphere is red hot from then until the final whistle, and often long after the match has finished.
That frenzy leads to lots of interest in keeping up with every aspect of the news for the game but that can be trickier for fans outside of Papua New Guinea, where most of the news comes from.
No matter where the news breaks, we bring it to you right here.
