Rugby league history
This is a genuinely distinct Mount Hagen ground from the nearby Rebiamul Oval, also covered on this site (5 matches, 1981-1996) — a comparison of both venues' independently confirmed match records shows no overlap in dates, confirming these are two separate grounds in the same town rather than a duplicate listing. PNG fielded 5 debutants under coach Adrian Lam; Fiji combined local players with overseas-based talent under coach Josaia Rabele Dakuitoga. A second Test in this series followed at Lloyd Robson Oval, Port Moresby, on 6 November 2011.
