A selection headache is sure to follow for Papua New Guinea Kumuls Head Coach, Justin Holbrook as he contemplates the performance by his team following their demolition of the Cook Islands Aitu in yesterday’s Pacific Championship match up.
Six new Kumuls were given the nod to debut, all six proved to be very useful. Epel Kapinias, Judah Rimbu, Junior Rop, Cruise Ten, Jack De Belin and Benji Kot all shone in their positions, receiving huge praise from coach Holbrook.
“We had 6 debutants and to come away with such a dominant win, everyone’s happy.”
Jack De Belin made his international debut in style, making 18 runs for 168 run metres coming second to man of the match, Kapinias who clocked 201 run metres of 22 runs and scored a try on debut.
Judah Rimbu also had a good spell at dummy half setting up a try and was instrumental in the victory over the Cook Islands boys.
