Inglis: Playing in PNG was an unbelievable experience

Last weekend’s Australian and PNG PM’s XIII match was Inglis’ first time to PNG and the rugby league star soaked up every minute of it, sending the crowd of over 15,000 into a frenzy with his two tries.

“I came here with an open mind. This was my first time in PNG and I felt like a rock star. The atmosphere was terrific. The community was fantastic,” said Inglis.

Inglis echoed the sentiments of Australian coach, Mal Meninga, saying PNG had undeniably put in a spirited effort despite a 58-0 scoreline.
