Australian coach Mal Meninga has named an impressive Prime Minister’s XIII squad for their clash with Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby.

South Sydney superstar Greg Inglis will skipper the team from the centres allowing Wests Tigers ace James Tedesco the chance to shine at fullback.

“This is an outstanding squad. There are four representatives from the Test match against New Zealand and on top of that, no less than nine of the players were a part of Origin this year” Meninga said.

“The PNG tours are some of the most enjoyable trips I have been on, but they are no holiday when you run onto the field.

“The PNG boys play a tough and energetic brand of football and they will be well backed by a huge crowd, all willing the home team on.

“Whenever you get the chance to visit and play rugby league in Port Moresby, it’s a special experience and this game will be no different.”
