Women’s 7s team downs Tonga in thriller

The PNG women's 7s team is on a roll, winning their second match this afternoon against Tonga, 10-7.

PNG grabbed first points through Joanne Lagona who was put through a gap and ran in to score.

With an unsuccessful conversion by Kymlie Rapilla, PNG took the lead 5-0 and held on until the half time whistle.
