Mosquitoes IC14 Champions get Grand Final revenge

The goal to Beno after the 1/4 time siren appeared to be crucial for morale. PNG had a sniff then and came out much better in the 2nd.

But you wouldn't want to be a forward in their team. They go backwards, sideways, forwards a bit then backwards, before finally bombing it away not to advantage. A full forward would've lead 6 six times and given up exhausted only to see it kicked to his opponent.

Yet then suddenly at times there were deft little passes out in front into space. It was very PNG. If they had 2 or 3 bigger men like Ikupu they'd be runaway winners. Start searching the streets of Moresby now!

I didn't really have a favourite this time but must admit it's nice to see PNG not go 1 win 4 losses in IC finals. 2 and 3 looks much better.

And now the winners list is: Ireland 2, PNG 2, NZ 1. With plenty of promise from NZ and SA.

Can someone else join them? If Fiji can grow their numbers a bit more there's a lot to like about them. At times they looked like they could match it with the 2nd tier teams, and destroyed the lowest teams.---
