Jambarufo: Greatest experience for the team

“The preparation that the team went through before we went down to Melbourne was one of the toughest for us because the expectations of the people back home in PNG were really high.

“But the boys faced the challenges and took one game at a time. The grand final in 2017 against New Zealand was our hardest game. It was tougher than the 2014 win over Ireland.

“We didn’t know what to expect. It was very challenging and exciting as well. All credit goes back to the boys and the coaching staff, “said Jambarufo.
