England Knights are to play a 2 game series against PNG, they will play games in Lae and the capital Port Moresby.
This is great news in my opinion, not only will it help develop their game, it will also be a great life opportunity for the Knights players. After the massive success of hosting their World Cup games, it’s nice to see more international games will be played in PNG this year.
Looking at the Knights squad I think they look a bit light at prop. Mikolaj Oledski has looked impressive in a struggling Leeds side, presuming he would pick England over Poland I’d like to see him added to the Knights squad.

I can't imagine that the players will be queuing up for this tour. Possibly confined to barracks between a couple of brutal games. No thanks.

Which is all that is wrong with modern sport. I read Lee Jackson's book and Great Britain's PNG tour is one of the most memorable things he did in his career.
Think this is a great move, gives the Knights a credible opponent without the PR damage that would happen if England B-Team beat France/Wales/Scotland. |

It sums up all that is wrong with our sport. PNG is renowned for being a mine and for being on the top 10 places NOT TO VISIT ever.......PNG being an RL hotbed is like saying UFC is popular in max security prisons.......  |

If that were the case, you'd expect the FCO to have some sort of travel advisory for it - like they do for lots of dangerous-to-visit places. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advic ... new-guinea |

I think its a great idea, and if we want these players to develop into fully fledged England players its important.
PNG will provide a test, and the life experience is important as rightly mentioned.
Who would of thought it ey, a reserve comp to develop players to play at an Elite level - I hope it catches on!

To be fair, this bit does not sound too good..
"There is a high level of serious crime. Law and order is poor or very poor in many parts of the country. Pay close attention to your personal security, particularly after dark, and monitor the media for possible new security risks. See Crime and Local Travel
Carjacking is an ever present threat, particularly in Port Moresby and Lae. Lock car doors and keep windows up at all times. If possible travel in convoy or with a security escort after dark. See Crime
Outbreaks of tribal fighting can occur and may escalate quickly. You should avoid large crowds and public gatherings as they may turn violent. See Local travel"

Quote Salford red all overThe law and order situation in Papua New Guinea continues to pose serious risks to travellers.
