Indonesian men and women arrived to the island yesterday to participate in a friendly Sevens tournament set to take place this weekend at Longdon Place.
Sri Lanka Rugby along with Indonesian Rugby have organized a friendly Sevens tournament ahead of the 2018 Asian Games which Indonesia is set to host this August. The tournament will be played on the 12thand 13th of May and will be a great opportunity for both countries to identify the top players and strengthen their National teams for the upcoming international tournaments.
The Indonesian Rhinos will be hoping to gain maximum out of this friendly tournament and prepare themselves for the all-important Asian Games in their home.
The Rugby Sevens at the Asian Games will be played from August 30th – 1st September (3 days). The Tuskers are the favorites to make it to the podium after their impressive performance at Gold Coast 2018, and with a little more than 3 months preparation time in hand, the hopes are high for the boys to go for gold.
The players will also use this as a good opportunity to prove themselves and earn a spot in the National Team. Sri Lanka will have two development teams; Lions & Tuskers, while a local club will fill as another team. Army, Air Force and CR&FC will field a women’s team each, in this short format tournament.
