Women's 7s

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.

Tonga hit back almost immediately at the start of the second half of play and took a 7-5 lead after a successful kick.

 With less than a minute of play left, PNG knew the way to go was out wide to Lynette Kwarvla who took the ball and ran 50 metres to score right on the full time hooter and win the game. 

PNG’s Cassandra Sampson got the crowd on their feet when she made a break down the wing to score under the posts.

Two more tries to Dulcie Bomai for PNG extended this lead to 19-0 at half time after Joanne Lagona added the extras.

The PNG girls came out even stronger in the second half.  Amelia Kuk was next to grab a five pointer.

But the New Caledonians put up some fight when Yengo Yolaine scooted down the wing only to be dragged down metres from the tryline.
