Port Moresby: The Australian PM's XIII overcame scenes of chaos, which saw players running from the field to escape a fan invasion, to seal a 34-18 victory against Papua New Guinea.

The match was brought to an abrupt halt midway through the first half when thousands of Papua New Guineans surged onto the field, sending the Aussies rushing back the sideline as almost half of the 14,007 fans rushed on to the playing surface.

PM's XIII captain Daly Cherry-Evans, who scored a double, was one of a few Australian players that didn't rush back to the bench.

Instead, he hugged and high-fived the adoring fans.

"When they were running out they were smiling," he said.

"They weren't running out of fear, they were running out of happiness. I knew nothing was wrong. I thought I would give some people some high-fives. It was an amazing PNG experience. Something I'll never forget. It added to the whole experience.

"While it may have halted our momentum, that goes to show the love they have the love for rugby league. That's something I'll never experience again. You have to take it for what it's worth. While it did have an effect on the game, this weekend was much more than a game, so it was okay."

..
"At first I was a bit scared," Jake Trbojevic said.

"But they just love their footy – they just wanted to shake our hands. At first everyone was a bit worried trying to run off the field but it was harmless."

Beattie must have had about 10 phones set up all over the park. Great coverage.
 
So back to the match.

Looks like DCE can actually play when in a system that's not designed by a kindergarten kid.

He wasn't surrounded by superstars and sure it was PNG but its pretty obvious tbaz has killed DCE over the past few years.
 
As an aside, the outlandish quote that ‘nearly half the 14,007 rushed onto the playing surface’ my arse, is complete and utter BS. Saw the footage. 300 at most and from one small corner of the ground. As if a footy field can hold 7000 people. Modern media huh? Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good clickbait story. Sorry times we live in.
