Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama

Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison will be in the country later today to watch the Australian Prime Minister's 13 rugby league team clash against the Fiji Prime Minister's 13 at the ANZ Stadium.

NRL.com reports Morrison will become the first Australian leader to attend the fixture since its inception in 2005, which has previously been held in Papua New Guinea up until this season under a new agreement with the Fijian Government and Fiji Rugby League.

Morrison joined Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga in Canberra last month to help select the squad.

Morrison who is a Cronulla Sharks supporter is set to spend time with Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama during the trip following the recent Vuvale Partnership agreement between the two nations.
