Love the Fijian hyms, if PNG had one culture, one language etcc.... We would have our own opening for every game. It is what it is.. Love Fiji from a Papua New Guinean.

[@Donnie_JS]

Nene freaking turned into prime GI for a moment 😤❤️💪🏼 Derby made us forget Xavier 💯 Good win boys 🇵🇬

[@LingKahaa]

@@Donnie_JS did Xavier every play for kumuls?

[@Threeniner]

100%

[@Donnie_JS]

@@LingKahaa yes he did, in a test match against Samoa in 2019

[@taswegian1790]

Nah think you lot are wrong , I’ve never played rep footy for any country ,just weren’t quite good enough , and in 2019 I was 50 yrs old . Please don’t forget me XAVIER ( founding member League of Xaviers)

[@LingKahaa]

@Donnie_JS that's right. His first and last.

[@sikethaproducer]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="47">0:47</a> typical Kyle. Manhandling these elite NRL Fijian forwards😂

[@johnbasil5546]

Kumuls showed tonight that status doesn't matter. Go the kumuls!!

[@fermanlupisa8987]

Win or loose, it's always a good rivalry between the two melanessian brothers. 🙏🙏👍👍❤❤😊

[@LingKahaa]

Kikau is out here passing to the Kumuls.

[@jeromebukam1235]

Well done, Kikau ! 😊

[@reubengisawa4751]

Nene Macdonald lost weight and is looking really good at fullback. Great win Kumuls 🇵🇬

[@emanx2600]

What impressed me most from the kumuls is the discipline. They probably gave only 2 penalties all game.

[@bengare2731]

Congratulations Kumuls🇵🇬❤️ good game Batis🇫🇯❤️

[@NickoWakeriSahoto]

Melanesian Brothers. One love from 🇵🇬

[@mathewjr]

[@maimasipa1855]

Thanks to PNG reserve graders beating Fiji NRL featured team. Go GO PNG.

[@Benz_Schmidt]

Well done lads. Solid effort Batis. Wan pasifika wan love. 🇵🇬❤️🇫🇯

[@sol-blazesnrwoz558]

Demetriou has made a statement 💯👏

[@FirstbornWallus-fk5nq]

Yes that that guy 🔥

[@livingstonekot757]

Always love watching these two teams play each other... I thought our Fiji brothers made a few unforced errors and forced passes that cost them the game, they'll surely improve in the upcoming matches of the tournament... And not to take anything away from our Kumuls boys, a wonderful performance/win, keep improving and we might just make it all the way... ❤❤❤

[@theophilussogoromo3000]

Scrappy game, but happy for the Kumuls win.👏🏽👏🏽🇵🇬

[@nehemiahjnrserry7756]

Fight between brothers. Kudos to both teams

[@JesicaRails-d2x]

It may not be today, nor even tomorrow, But one day, these two nations will rise, Joining the ranks of rugby's elite countries. Their spirit and passion unshakeable.

[@kesilame2590]

The Melanesian boys are coming for the NRL. Good game exhibited by the PNG and Fiji boys.

[@DamienWala]

I agree 🫡

[@ropatemomo4149]

Kikau is wearing the wrong jersey... oh... and yes, PNG is the Ireland of rugby league...

[@Mercury1312]

Kumuls for 2025 Pacific Cup. Lets go larim Kumul fly.🇵🇬🥳

[@DamienWala]

Really appreciate both teams. They came out representing their country with pride, and battled it out in the true spirit of Melanesian rugby league 🫡 🇵🇬❤🇫🇯. Proud PNGean cheering from a Melanesian perspective.

[@FrancisWagner-re3uz]

This is the lineup. Well done boys ❤🇵🇬 Nice game both teams💥💪

[@JohnKamasua]

If the Fiji Bati playes another Team we will always support the Team ❤🎉. Good for Pacifuc RL

[@markhamraymondtanele9086]

Up the kumuls ❤. Let's go boys 🇵🇬💯

[@felixkuriaunage4283]

nrl commentators always had hjgh bets for mrl fiji players .its kind of a fun game stop under estimating as UK is doing a massive recruit for png players

[@JAMROCK360]

True tok..👍🏾

[@DamienWala]

I Solemnly salute UK Super League🫡. Thanks a lot. NRL is full of pride, nepotism, favoritism, and always underestimating PNG players.

[@zayn1-e1w]

Thank you Boyss❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SPYNAVS]

Job well done to you all ❤ 🇵🇬🇵🇬🤟🔥💯 Worth the watch and tireless support 🎉

[@elnathantumae9242]

[@RamatAwape]

nice game both teams. we PNGians love you Kikau😊

[@yombamahn4684]

🎉let kumul fly high. Nice game batis. One Pacifica one love Bula.😍❤

[@maimasipa1855]

Andrew Jones is always against PNG. R. Dervy,s its a try

[@jerrykimbo05]

I don't know why NRL signs many Fijians 😂😂

[@CheGuevara-yx6hr]

Haha fijians are better than kumuls😂

[@kesilame2590]

One word : Attitude. Our Fijian brothers have attitude.

[@KemoMasase]

​@@kesilame2590Rugby has the power to discipline and mold attitudes. If They don't have attitude, super league won't hire most kumuls. It's all about bias.

[@NasonJeff-jq3zw]

Let's go Kumuls... let's fly high.

[@maxkopio4727]

Excellent performance, Kumuls ❤

[@SimoLimo-k1g]

Up the Mighty Kumuls💪

[@jamesyambuahen5849]

Prefer Flying Kumuls than Mighty Kumuls....

[@francisluvi3027]

Congratulations PNG Kumuls for the win you have definitely made our country extremely proud to our Pacific brothers Fiji Batis good challenge

[@jamesyambuahen5849]

If i am correct, this is the second time Fiji have lined up its team with experiences and NRL guns and got beaten by the Kumuls.

[@tapendsupus962]

Awesome game

[@thekiid_martindanielwere]

This lined up should have clashed in the PM x111 - 2024

[@bennyappa9256]

Please enough 😂😂😂

[@MalkaniRaumu-gp9qf]

and they would still lose 😂😂😂

[@Draken-nd8ov]

fiji had nothing going for them. Theyre playmakers are not doin their job and kikau selling ofc. But Png played phenomenal.

[@NaimeGordon]

PNG NRL please develop the schoolboys rugby so we can get more talent into the NRL.

[@GeorgePhilip-lw7ls]

Koso and Namo where great of the bench....Debelin was solid with Martin....Nene at the back with Derby were awesome....it was a tough game but kumuls took thier chances and scored...laybutt and Lam just steered through the work done by the forwards....also simbikin was solid...great games and thanks to Fiji for the good challenge 💯🙏💪

[@MurphyYomi-nx3iw]

Nice wan boys. They trained with the girls thinking we are soft 😅😅😂

[@taimike6065]

Lots of comments against Kikau, i believe the offloadwas clean just well read by the Kumul player who knew the offload is coming. Games looks easy when you sat watching from the sideline or TV but totally different view by players. Unlucky Fiji, well played Kumuls, ONE LOVE 🤙

[@gordonrabbie8315]

Go kumuls 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Raphaelnagual]

Less goooo 🎉🎉🎉png kumuls come to suva and win😂

[@Ronin-699]

[@aloisulne3362]

Win or lose, we celebrate together as Melanesian brothers 🇵🇬🇫🇯 . Congratulations to Kumuls

[@jorianx2197]

Kikau needs a yellow jumper

[@lukesimpson3080]

Kikau so overrated and cost Fiji the game.

[@BADEYEBOI]

Wow.. awesome game.. Go Pacific Brothers

[@sitelamaharaj2309]

Kikau player of the match

[@kylekevau6066]

I was hoping it would've been like last years game very neck and neck

[@Jordan-b7n9d]

This game is not just about winning or losing rather than that it's about culture, love, family and unity as Melanesians. Remember when this two nations play we are not only representing our respective countries but Melanesia as whole....anyways good game to our Fijian brothers from a Papua New Guinean 🇵🇬❤️🙏

[@Brian51427]

Kikau was the best Kumuls player 🥱

[@AndyPagere]

😅

[@JasonTerme-x6q]

What are great performance for both teams. Congratulations 🎉 PNG Kumul 🇵🇬for winning the Pacific Champions first match against Fiji Batis. Larim Kumul I Fly🇵🇬🇵🇬🤗

[@pwhitaker569]

Brilliant stuff. Love International RL.

[@jessesaofia7831]

Fiji not used to playing in the tropics ...

[@jeromebukam1235]

lol 😂

[@BogmilNili]

Kumuls beat Fiji three times in Australia, what are you talking about?

[@jamesyambuahen5849]

Yeap...last time Fiji lined up all the NRL players was in 2021/2022 and got beaten by Kumuls at Down-under.

[@unknown-es4xw]

If not png ... We will still support Fiji our Melanesian brothers 🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏 love from PNG, the better team won. Win or lose we are still pacifica brother's ❤

[@thebteammovieprojectpapuan3077]

Congratulations 🇵🇬 PNGLNG Kumuls 🎉

[@SRNK3786]

Fiji had no structure or set play. They had no chemistry. PNG were clearly the better team.

[@LaSovori-bw4fu]

Vinaka Fiji for the game. Better luck next time. When the game is on,emotions run high and supporters may go crazy and say stuff but end of the game and day,we're all brothers off the field. Fiji and PNG will always have a special relationship. No love lost. Melanesian brothers💯🙏 Vinaka vaka levu na tenkiu turu.

[@Joshuaninji]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@KemoMasase]

Kikau's pass was absolutely silly. He has seen Derby infront but passed anyway.

[@Pop4703ICy]

Upla keke 🇵🇬😤🔥

[@Irongaint]

Not surprised Fiji lost 😂

[@ThoughtsFromTheCabinet]

Who needs Coates...couldn't even score last night...Derby all the way...💪🏿💯

[@jeromebukam1235]

Coates is no use to the Kumuls. Lus tingting lo em

[@Kumulkaru1314]

Nice win but could have done more better....... second half was a sloppy 40mins. PNG up anyway 🇵🇬💪

[@izzie585]

Kumuls yah! ❤

[@RocksieKoa]

🎉 rugby league greatest game of all 🏈✅🥇🌈🤝

[@NuffSed1042]

Kikau wants to be a Kumul....😂

[@averageguy6872]
