The Papua New Guinea Hunters rugby league team will today train together for the first time since completing 31 days in managed isolation.
The professional outfit have relocated to Australia to compete in the Queensland Cup, after last year's competition was cancelled because of Covid-19.
The team spent 17 days in quarantine before departing Port Moresby and have just completed a 14 day stint in managed isolation at a Brisbane hotel.
RNZ Pacific sports journalist Vinnie Wylie has been following their journey and joins me now.
Bula Vinnie so after nearly five weeks shut off from the outside world the squad was finally released from quarantine on Sunday?
