=Papua New Guinea vs Fiji men in Australia=

The 2016 Melanesian Cup was played between Papua New Guinea and Fiji. Papua New Guinea created history to win their first Melanesian Cup title.{{cite web|url=http://www.nrl.com/png-stuns-fiji-in-a-thriller/tabid/10874/newsid/95678/default.aspx|title=PNG stuns Fiji in a thriller|date=7 May 2016 |publisher=nrl.com|access-date=7 May 2016}} The test looked in a similar situation to last year when Fiji took a comfortable lead into the break but this time around Papua New Guinea scored enough points in the second half to outscore their pacific rivals and win their first major title since the 2009 Pacific Cup. Captain David Mead shone for the Kumuls as he made try-saving tackles, assists and even line breaks in a man-of-the-match performance which was a crucial influence to earning his country's first win on away soil since the year 2000. Fiji picked 7 débutantes for the test match, while PNG featured five players making their first ever International appearance for their country. Both teams had a fair share of NRL, Queensland or New South Wales Cup, as well as domestic club players. Papua New Guinea's most capped player was Rod Griffin who made his 10th appearance for his country, while Fiji's most experienced player was Akuila Uate who made his 12th appearance for his country. Gold Coast's David Mead captained Papua New Guinea, and Port Kembla Blacks' James Storer led Fiji.

=Samoa vs Tonga men in Australia=

The 2016 Polynesian Cup was played between Samoa and Tonga. Samoa defeated Tonga to win their second consecutive Polynesian Cup title.{{cite web|url=http://www.nrl.com/samoa-holds-on-in-pulsating-pacific-test/tabid/10874/newsid/95681/default.aspx|title=Samoa holds on in pulsating Pacific Test|date=7 May 2016 |publisher=nrl.com|access-date=7 May 2016}} The strong crowd would always show their passion and loud screaming support throughout the game after big hits, strong runs and intense moments were key talking points.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} However a total of 29 errors and a completion rate of just over 50% from both countries was a headache for everyone to watch.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} Despite Tonga having 55% possession and more territory, they didn't score and the Samoans made them pay by taking their few second-half opportunities that were given to them resulting in another Samoan victory over their old 'War rivals'. Samoa picked 7 débutantes for the test match, while Tonga featured three. Both teams' players varied from National Rugby League players to Queensland or New South Wales Cup to Holden Cup and to the Super League. Samoa's most capped player was Leeson Ah Mau who made his 10th appearance for his country, while Tonga's most experienced player was Feleti Mateo who made his 13th appearance for his country. English Super League club Hull F.C. gave permission for two players to leave England and play in the Polynesian Cup test; coincidentally they were captain of both nations. Frank Pritchard captained Samoa, and Sika Manu led Tonga.{{cite news|url=http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-FC-Frank-Pritchard-Sika-Manu-return/story-29203653-detail/story.html#ixzz47LbYe6hK|title=Hull FC: Frank Pritchard and Sika Manu to return to Australia and miss Challenge Cup game|work=Hull Daily Mail|access-date=1 May 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160501102446/http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-FC-Frank-Pritchard-Sika-Manu-return/story-29203653-detail/story.html#ixzz47LbYe6hK|archive-date=1 May 2016}}
