00:00There's only three common denominators in this country.
00:07One is God.
00:09Two, talk piss in me blood, talk talk here.
00:12Three is Rugby League.
00:18This is called Rugby League.
00:22The only nation in the world with Rugby League as their national sport.
00:30The United Nations Human Rights Commission says Papua New Guinea is failing in its duty to protect women.
00:36In our culture, ladies are always treated second to men.
00:42A National Women's Rugby League team is being formed.
00:45They'll be known as the PNG Orchids.
00:48Two months to get a team ready for a World Cup is not a lot of time.
00:53We know how to play Rugby League, let's do it.
00:56Just playing together for a few months, if we can put up a good fight against some team that's played for years,
01:01it says in itself how far we can go.
01:21We will prove that women in this country are as strong as men.
01:27I'm so proud to represent my country.
01:30This nation's about to change and women are starting to come through and empowering each other.
01:40Making history.
01:57And that's Dover, the wide strike.
02:01She's got the ball down.
02:03The Orchids under all kinds of pressure here.
02:05You girls know how to win a game.
02:07We just haven't been doing it.
02:12We fight till the end.
02:14Can Papua New Guinea do the impossible?
02:16They have got nothing girls, we are in this game.
02:19The little things, in between,
02:22they are the things that win games.
02:24It's not a bad one.
02:25Oh, fumbled by England.
02:26Chance here for the Orchids.
02:28It's not a World Cup try.
02:34It's the experience.
02:38It's the dream and the dream come true.
02:52Dover
