PM's XIII down Kumuls 34-0 in league
September 18, 2005 - 5:09PM
In front of a large enthusiastic crowd, the Australian team led by retiring Sydney Roosters captain Luke Ricketson and coached by Mal Meninga posted five tries and converted four in a bruising encounter.
The crowd inside Lloyd Robson Oval was well behaved until the end when youths were chased by police and dogs to clear them from the field.
Outside the ground, police used tear gas and brandished rifles to disperse an unruly crowd.
Ricketson kicked the final conversion just on fulltime to mark the final game of his league career.
The Australian team will visit schools and health clinics to talk about HIV/AIDS prevention and combating violence against women in PNG as part of an AusAID funded promotion.
