A quarter final against England on Saturday afternoon was up for grabs as Papua New Guinea took on a brave Wales side who had so far failed to record a win despite a couple of determined outings in the group of death.
It was the final game of the group stages and PNG went into it as the clear favourites to take the two points and finish second in the group. But John Kear´s determined Welshmen knew that a win by twenty-two points or more would take them through.
All the Kumuls needed to do was lose by less than that twenty-two and with the bookies giving Wales a twenty-eight point start on the coupon, few thought that Wales were in with any chance.
