Sport: PNG Rugby maps path forward following mediation

From , 5:00 am on 25 May 2018

The interim board of the Papua New Guinea Rugby Football Union has met with World Rugby and Oceania Rugby in an effort to revive the sport after years of political and legal battles.

In 2016 the PNG government and Rugby Union fell out over accusations of political interference, while the government still has possession of the Rugby Union's official home base, Bava Park.

Chair of the court-appointed Interim Board of the PNGRFU, Syd Yates, told Vinnie Wylie they're determined to put the troubles of the past behind them.
