October 17, 2019

It was an emotional moment for PNG Kumuls legend Richard Wagambie wearing the PNG colours again after 28 years since playing an international Test match.

The former Kumuls Test Center and Air Niugini staff member was included in the Kumuls Legends team as coach/player who played against the Brisbane Broncos legends on Saturday, 31 August 2019 at the Oil Search National Football Stadium(NFS) in Port Moresby.

Wagambie, who hails from Tui village, Hawain in Wewak, East Sepik Province, recalled wearing the Kumul jumper again which brought back a lot of memories and emotions.

He said, “A lot of us actually had tears in our eyes. It hadn’t dawned on us until just before we were running out when I reminded the guys that we were playing a Kumuls match and that we must stay focused and be mentally ready for the game. I told the legends to take the game as an international match as we represent PNG again with our families including our grandchildren present to watch us play.
