The Australian Prime Minister's XIII have defeated Papua New Guinea 34-16 in Port Moresby.
In an eventful match the game was halted when a large-scale pitch invasion took place midway through the first half.
Thousands of Kumuls fans poured on to the pitch.
Apparently it had something to do with the sky falling in or the light tower 🤔

Winger Nick Cotric scored the first try of the game before Jake Trbojevic crossed.
Skipper Daly Cherry-Evans bagged a double and then Papua New Guinea's Rhyse Martin scored off a Lachlan Lam grubber.
In the second half Corey Allan got on the scoresheet before Kyle Laybutt responded for the home team.
Justin Olam was the next to touch down, but the Prime Minister's XIII finished the contest off with a try to Chad Townsend.
The result of giving out all your gear to the locals! #PMsXIII #GoTheRoos #RISE pic.twitter.com/Dd6IS9ziJD
