RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD CUP 2017

GAME ON GROUP C : Papua New Guinea v Wales - Sat - 06:00:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

PNG will thrash Wales. There is a lot of talent in the PNG side.

Sell out! Good luck with that Wales!

Very odd side for PNG - 4 hookers in the side - one at lock and two on the bench - and only 1 prop on the bench.

If you look at PNG lined up before any match, every player is about the same height & size, they're a pretty homogenous kind of team, not much of a mixing of races in New Guinea over the years, i reckon you'd could just pick your best players & slot them in anywhere

And I thought John Kear was coaching Wales.

For those that don't know the game is live on Premier Sports and [url=http://www.rlbet.co.uk/rugby-league-world-cup-rlwc-2017-live-streaming/legally online[/url

This is one game I am really looking forward, I can't wait to see/hear the atmosphere and some of the big hits from the PNG squad.

It's difficult to look past a home win, but it should be a great watch

Watch the PNG three quarters, Nene Macdonald (St George Illawarra), Kato Ottio (Canberra), Justin Olam (Melbourne) and Castleford's new signing Garry Lo, cut the Wales defence to ribbons. This game will be a huge victory for PNG.

There was a nice feature on this evening's Wales Today (BBC1 Wales 1830hrs) about the Wales RLnteam arriving in PNG. Interview snippets with Elliot Kear, Iestyn Harris and John Kear, with a special mention (and some Welsh hope) pinned on Regan Grace.

All games in PNG sell out. Even qld cup games get 15k, which is the ground capacity.
They could probably sell 60k tickets to this game if they had a stadium big enough.

Poer Moresby is going to be a real struggle for Wales.

Wales aren't preparing for a game, they are preparing for war.

kumuls in png is no joke.

Wales has no chance. They should surrender at the end of the game with humility, graciousness, and dignity.

The Taffies are going to get eaten alive

PNG are playing with some passion.

Biting from PNG. They are actually trying to eat them.

Wales look terrified

Really missing Flower, Dudson and White here.

This will be PNGs first WC win since 2000.

I loved his complaint to the ref. "My finger accidentally fell in his mouth".

Would England play in Port Moresby?

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

What? They got 6 points instead, thanks to St Helens Regan Grace.

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.
