PNG Kumuls, the pride of the Pacific island nation Papua New Guinea (PNG), where rugby league is the National Sports …

Rattled Ireland, beating them 14 points to 6 in front of – once again! – a capacity crowd of over 15,000 crazy, frantic and patriotic crowd in Port Moresby, the capital city of PNG.

Ireland scored first, but "Mr. Unstoppable" Gary Lo (Sheffield Eagles, UK) who's bound for Castleford Tigers (English Super League, UK) …

Sent the rugby leaguemad crowds into a deafening frenzy … as he beat seven defenders to score PNG's first try.

Nene McDonalds (St GeorgeIllawarra, NRL) powered over for PNG's second try. And with the game in balance (PNG 8 Ireland 6) and 2 minutes on the game clock …

PNG Kumuls' scrumhalf Watson Boas toed through a loose ball, grabbed and sealed the match.

PNG Kumuls win over Ireland comes after the Kumuls demolished Wales 50–6 in Game #1. It was also played in the PNG National Stadium, Port Moresby.

The PNG Kumuls next play the United States (USA) in Game#3 … and are headed to Melbourne, Australia for the quarter finals.

They'll line up against Big Guns, England.

Whatever the results (vs England) in the quarter finals … the PNG Kumuls are legit. They've arrived. And they're here to stay in the top tier of world rugby league.

The PNG Kumuls of 2017 are considered to be the best national team ever assembled to participate in the international fixtures, including the Rugby League World Cup 2017.
