Aiton sees Knights to remember

- BY GARETH WALKER

CATALANS hooker Paul Aiton says England Knights’ tour of Papua New Guinea later this year will have a huge impact in his home country.

Mirror Sport understand­s the RFL are in the final stages of confirming matches for Paul Anderson’s side against the Kumuls in Port Moresby and Lae.

Ireland and Wales played in front of sell-out crowds in PNG at last year’s World Cup, but the previous time a home nation visited was when Great Britain beat the Kumuls 32-30 in 1996.

PNG internatio­nal Aiton (above) said: “It’s awesome, I’m so happy about that. The country loves rugby league, they will know all the players already and the experience will be great for them.”
