Wartovo Puara named Captain of PNG PM's XIII team to face Australia

 PNG Hunters hooker and PNG International Wartovo Puara will lead the Papua New Guinea PM's XIII on Sunday when they take on Australia at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia.  Puara is a wealth of experience with seven international appearances to his name, as well as being the most capped PNG Hunter. 

He will be in the middle of everything as the hooker, and Coach Stan will need him to lead the young pack from the back of the ruck. He's a sensible dummy half who knows the game and manages the shifts in momentum better than anyone.

He's influential on the field, knows when to inject himself and is a role model for the younger boys. We know he will lead well.
