Watch: Wild Scenes As Australia's Prime Minister's XIIV Rugby League Team Touches Down In Papua New Guinea

This is what a heroes reception looks like in Port Moresby.

It's one of the best kept secrets in world sport. Each a year a team of Australian NRL stars known as the Prime Minister's XIIV heads to Port Moresby to play a one-off exhibition match against Papua New Guinea's national team, the Kumuls.

In PNG, where rugby league is the national sport and followed with religious fervour, it is the premier event on the sporting calendar. This year was no exception and NSW State of Origin forward, Boyd Cordner recorded the remarkable scenes on his phone as the Australian team arrived in Port Moresby.

PNG first gained widespread attention in the international league community through legendary Melbourne Storm winger and 1999 grand final winner, Marcus Bai, who hails from the remote village of Ulamona, on the island of New Britain to the mainland's north.

Since then many PNG players have gone onto play in Australia's National Rugby League and Great Britain's Super League. PNG also have a team playing in Australia's second-tier In Trust Super Cup competition.

The Prime Minister's XIIV, which featured a number of NRL stars including NSW and Queensland origin players, Josh Dugan, Greg Inglis and Boyd Cordner, trounced the mostly amateur PNG Kumuls outfit 58-0. But it was still gravy for the capacity 15 000 crowd, who erupted as aboriginal NRL star, Greg Inglis ran in a try and celebrated with his traditional 'goanna' dance.
