There is twenty two days to go before the kick-off to the Rugby League World Cup 2017 which will see rugby league fans get a chance to see the PNG LNG Kumuls in action on home soil.
The three matches scheduled for the PNG LNG Kumuls will all be staged at the National Football stadium and is set to attract an international following.
TV Wan Sports was in Sydney over the weekend, and the hype to the NRL grand final and the SP PNG Hunters playing the curtain raiser to that match, was all it took to set the pace for PNG and international rugby league followers.
Meantime, local PNG league followers will get a chance to watch all PNG Kumuls matches against Wales, USA and Ireland all at the National Football Stadium.
International rugby league followers are also excited about PNG’s prospects of a sell-out crowd during the prestigious Rugby League World Cup campaign for the Kumuls.
All of the PNG Women’s rugby league matches will be played in Sydney against England, Canada and New Zealand respectively.
Meanwhile, this is the first time in PNG and rugby league history to have the females’ competition at the same time as the men’s.
