The Canberra Times

In his Prime Minister's XIII debut, Ethan Strange was given the chance to highlight his versatility for a potential role on the Kangaroos bench, as Papua New Guinea's future NRL team name was also revealed.

Strange was at centre for the Port Moresby clash against the Papua New Guinea Prime Minister's XIII, but it was a rough start for Raiders teammate Corey Horsburgh with the forward suffering an apparent collarbone injury.

In commentary, league great Brad Fittler tipped Tom Dearden to be the first-choice No.14 for the Kangaroos tour of England just ahead of Strange, with Cam Munster and Nathan Cleary leading the national team's halves race.
