Rugby is the most popular sport in Papua New Guinea, and its national sport. Locals are big fans of the rugby league in this developing country.
CGTN reporter Li Tianfu has met with a group of PNG teenagers playing rugby, some wearing slippers, others barefooted.
The sport is seen as an alternative to the tribal warfare in a land with a diverse culture. Papua New Guinea has a reputation for being the most passionate supporter of this game in the world.
