I just totally loved seeing the pacific nations, the beating heart of world rugby, smashing almost all of the 'big' nations in the rugby league world cup in 2017.! I'm utterly sick of the top nations plundering the talent of these proud little nations. Union is rotten to the core with it. Tonga and PNG were absolutely fantastic in that world cup. I mean look at PNG's offloads in this 7's game, right out of Fiji's book!! Long Live Pacific rugby!
If PNG invests more in the game, they could be another Fiji team, mesmerizing and dazzling the opposition with speed and Melanesian magic. Edit: Rvstng. Thursday ngt - November 4, 2021.
@@growrugbyleague6353 depends. Union, particularly has a real team vibe. Especially in 15s. Maybe i'm a little biased as i play 15s and 7s in Europe. But yea, the game needs a lot more growth in PNG.
@@arthurimona5901 I respect rugby union but I wish rugby league could also grow overseas better… when you have watched rugby league all your life you know there is truly nothing else in the world like it. Unfortunately rugby union only wants to destroy league instead of work together. I wish this wasn’t the case and everybody could enjoy both codes as they please
Or at least sending a team to any Fijian 7s tournament to sharpen said skills, makes it a lot more entertaining on where the ball is going regardless of who's in possession. Even Spain sent a team there and it helped them alot with olympic repechage qualifications in Monaco in 2016 if I remember correctly.
7s doesn't have as much funding as league. And Its also not as popular as league. So there is a much smaller player pool to choose from. That's why these players are all scrawny looking. While the league players are more athletic looking. Because there is more talent to choose from.
Mangi I think he meant why they don't look like the highlanders. most of these boys are coastal boys or from the islands of png,who play union. Alot of the highlanders are into rugby league. You go to certain provinces in png you find they are into certain sports.
Most of rugby union (including 7s) players are from the coastal provinces. League players mostly guys from the highlands provinces. It’s due to how those codes were introduced and played over the decades.
Manus and Central provinces are Polynesian that are into Rugby but we have some from New Ireland, Sepik and Bougainville. Milne Bay province is Micronesian. We're diverse and PNG is the mother of the Pacific according to history

Tenkyu boys from my place of birth PNG. All the way from Kuwait

true. rugby league gets a lot of the money. not much goes to union
@@arthurimona5901 rugby league is more exciting i think

They do have potential, just need the right administration to popularize union a little more in order to rival league.

Best Rugby ever...Thank you Son. 🙏💔
Melanesian magical rugby. Needs more investment to see it become a powerhouse
Excellent job boys. Well done coach. Well done management. keep it up PNG! (Y)
ONE TALK, how about games with Fiji to shapen your skills.
Or at least sending a team to any Fijian 7s tournament to sharpen said skills, makes it a lot more entertaining on where the ball is going regardless of who's in possession.

Great performance PNG!!

Why do the 7s players not look like the rugby league PNG players?

@@mangi1032 but they are way better the league
Way more better than PNG league players, more condition more speed.

Rest in Peace, SIR!
Gairo fit mangi
Shallan.
Yeah mi save.
Hahaah.
Yo some of them look tongan samoan
Yes certain provinces in png looks Samoan or tonga
couple provinces in png have people who share facial similarities with polynesians
Yeah there's some of us that look Polynesian
PNG has both Melanesians and Polynesians
