International rugby league is still not over for 2019 with Great Britain to play Papua New Guinea in the final leg of their tour of the southern hemisphere.

A Trans-Tasman double-header in Wollongong started the end-of-season festivities with women's and men's clashes on Friday after the Junior Kangaroos played France. Australia completed a clean sweep with the under 23s, Jillaroos and Kangaroos recording wins.

The touring Great Britain side broke its 11-year Test absence with a Test against Tonga on October 26 in Hamilton but were beaten in an upset result by the South Pacific kingdom.

Fans enjoyed a triple treat on November 2 with Samoa upset by Fiji, the Kangaroos going down to Tonga in historic circumstances and the Kiwis getting the better of Great Britain at Eden Park.

On November 9 the Papua New Guinea side lost a close one to Fiji, while the Kiwis ran out 23-8 winners over Great Britain in the second match at Christchurch.

To cap off the end-of-year Test schedule, Papua New Guinea play the Lions before what's sure to be a passionate crowd in Port Moresby on November 16.
