Review
In front of a bumper and enthusiastic crowd at Celtic Crusaders’ Brewery
Field ground, Wales warmed up for their big date in Scotland with an
excellent 50-10 win over Papua New Guinea.
The win made it three from three for Wales against their south sea
island opponents, following victories in 1991 and 2000, but this win
will probably go down as one of the most memorable, if not
surprising. PNG came to Wales with a strong squad, if hampered
by the loss of Hull KR duo Stanley Gene and Makali Aizu, and
were predicted by many to win the game.
Martin Hall said afterwards, Wales had the determination and it
was a fine team performance. “When you score 50 points in an
international, it’s more than one player that’s played well, it’s a
good team performance,” Hall said. “I think everyone anticipated
a closer game but we played well. Papua New Guinea are a
good side – they held an Australian team on their own
patch a few weeks ago so we needed to do well today,
and we did.”
