Fiji Bati v Papua New Guinea Kumuls | Match Highlights | 2023 Pacific Championships

[@anglowarrior3871]

I always love watching games between Pacific Island nations like PNG,Fiji,Tonga,Samoa,etc.Always hard to predict who's gonna win and they're nearly always good games.Well done to both teams, especially PNG for the victory.

[@pulorenagi]

Good win kumuls, good game from both team.

[@tekajikuyalkrul5111]

The crowd was electric there, was happy to see the boys win❤, kinda disappointed in the Fijian left centre for not setting any good balls for Sivo and the fijian 17, he was one of the biggest players on the field yet he was getting folded easily

[@AnghamHenry]

Appreciate you both Papua New Guinea Kumuls and Fiji Batis for the tough game you have displayed. Wining or loosing doesn't matter as it always happen that either Kumuls or Batis can win. Therefore congratulations to both teams and to Kumuls for winning this challenge..

[@livingstonekot757]

The Pacific Cup was a very good idea now reality... It will give our Pacific Boys much needed exposure and experience that will only make them better playing against each other with upcoming lower grade players playing with and against top tier NRL players... This tournament was essentially a draw, with both teams having a win over the other... Always love watching these 2 teams go up against each other... Well played boys, both teams are equal champions in this tournament... Can't wait to see more... ❤❤❤

[@ArnoldGilalong-fw7ft]

One of these Melanesian team need to play for the cup championship. They been playing each other's for ever

[@mixitube489]

A Great showcase of Melanesian Rugby League. Always the tough rivals always the melanesian commradry and spirit in the end. We need to build more relationships on and off the field in all sporting codes between us and other Melanesian brothers and our other Pacific brothers as well. I guess Kumuls now climb up the international ranking as Tongans lost all 3 games against England?? Someone confirm.

[@ghostwater8139]

The stadium packed moments after kick-off...this is typical island time right there....island people would relate to this

[@TaLeBogan710]

It’s about time we gave Fiji, Samoa & Tonga an actual home game on their soil. Every Pacific game is always in Australia, NZ or PNG

[@johnsolok2435]

good idea, rotate it and share the pacific football to all corners of the pacific

[@raunraun22]

Do you have the Finance and Facilities to host big games?

[@TaLeBogan710]

@@raunraun22 their countries do and the games would be bigger their than both teams away from home. I guarantee if Fiji, Tonga or Samoa played it would be a sell-out. Look at the Druas atmosphere in Suva compared to other Super Rugby clubs. League should do the same. If Lebanon can play in Beirut and Tripoli am sure the Pacific nations can since they actually follow Rugby League.

​@@TaLeBogan710Damn right, Super Rugby in Fiji is a perfect example

Thank you Fiji Bati Kamikamica for leading our development team..

[@3Z6I9R]

“Development team”? Development for? 😂 We both literally have equal numbers players born in 2002. Winger for kumuls that scored 2 tries? Born in 2002. The man that set those tries up, laybutt? Born in 16th Jan 2002. Then Bula your, DOB 30th Jan 2002. The only difference in age range is one of your players was born in 2004.

[@Justice-k5t]

​@369ZIR nah bruh...kumuls is filled with oldies..Bati only have 5 experience players ...this is not our strongest lineup who played in the last world cup...We will let kumuls win minor tests like for arrogant png fans ..Bati will focus on doing well at the world cup. ..while kumuls just making up numbers 😂😂😂

[@malcolmsiparagigibson2588]

@user-hj7n8fu5k; Mate I thought the Kumuls beat Fiji in the recent world cup..Correct me if I'm wrong. Development Team or No development Team, I think both sides had equal qualities. You can't use the term development as an excuse. Was the recent world cup also filled with Development players when PNG beat Fiji? Don't think so.

[@3Z6I9R]

@@Justice-k5t aye? I literally looked up everyone’s age on the team lists. And I mean everyone. I had to look up the facts because y’all are making up excuses without knowing the facts. So there’s no “nah bro” or “oldies”. 😂 And facts is PNG and Fiji have played each other 15 times. PNG won 9, FIJI won 6. Don’t get pride confused with arrogance.

[@EstherBanamu]

Development for what 😂😅It’s been years now

[@felixkuriaunage4283]

pride of kumul is far nore than a loss , last week was a good lesson however this game you made a comeback .. Fijian batis prophecy you come so this weekend and you did well thanks to that Laybatt boys and magic Johnson and the rest of the kumul players .and the coach
