Will Sri Lanka get back on top in Colombo?

Asia Rugby Sevens Series - 3rd Leg

635

The final leg of the three-legged Asia Rugby Sevens Series is set to be played at the Racecourse Rugby Stadium on the 13th and 14th of October.

As the Sri Lanka Men’s 7s team dropped down by three positions at the end of the second leg in Korea, the pressure is on the home team to at least climb back up the ladder and secure their familiar position of 3rd place in the overall standings.

China surpass Sri Lanka in Asia Rugby rankings!

Despite the lackluster performance in the second …

The Lankan Women on the other hand can be satisfied with their achievements in both legs as the Plate Champions and will hope to work their way up into the top four at the end of the series.
