The final leg of the Asia Rugby 7’s series, powered by Dialog, will kick off at the iconic racecourse grounds in Colombo from 14-15 October, where Sri Lanka’s men’s and women’s rugby teams will scrum down for supremacy against the heavyweights of Asian rugby.

The final leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series, held in Sri Lanka, will be broadcast live on Dialog Television Channel number 1 and will also be available via live streaming on ThePapare.com and the Dialog MyTV mobile app. Entrance is free for the public and the tournament will kick off at 10.00 a.m. on both days.

Sri Lanka, after putting up a spirited performance in the Hong Kong and South Korean legs of the tournament, is expected to put forth a strong performance at Reid Avenue. Defending champions Hong Kong are expected to retain the title despite facing stiff opposition from Japan, South Korea and home side Sri Lanka. During the last two legs, Sri Lanka took the plate title after losing narrowly to strong outfits from Hong Kong and Japan.
