Sri Lanka will be looking to emulate last year’s performance on home turf in the final leg of the exciting Asia Rugby Sevens Series, powered by Dialog Axiata, which will kick off at the iconic Racecourse Grounds in Colombo from 13-14 October.
The final leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series, held in Sri Lanka, will be aired live on Dialog Television on Channel Number 1 on 14 October and will also be available via live streaming on ThePapare.com and the Dialog MyTV mobile app on 13 and 14 October, with no additional data charges applicable for Dialog subscribers. Entrance will be free for the public and the tournament will kick off at 1.30 p.m. on 13 October and 10.00 a.m. on 14 October.
The Lankan Tuskers, after missing out on a medal in the Hong Kong and South Korean legs of the Asian Rugby Sevens, are expected to put up a top three finish at the home venue. Defending champions Hong Kong are expected to retain the title despite a challenge from Japan and South Korea. During the last two legs, Sri Lanka was edged out by a strong performance from the Philippines.
The final leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series is powered by Dialog Axiata Plc, Sri Lanka’s most prolific promoter of sports, and the proud sponsor of the country’s national team. Sri Lanka’s premier mobile services provider, Dialog Axiata Plc, has a close association with the sport and is the proud sponsor of the national 15-a-side and seven-a-side rugby teams. Dialog also sponsors the club rugby league and club rugby knockout tournament played for the coveted Clifford Cup.
