With the return of playmakers Chanaka Chandimal and Danushka Ranjan from injury, the Tuskers will vie for a top spot at the second leg of the Asia Rugby 7’s Series to be played in South Korea on 23 and 24 September.

The Sri Lankan Tuskers put on an impressive performance in Hong Kong during the first leg despite losing Danushka Ranjan and Chanaka Chandimal due to injuries, bringing home the plate and ranking fifth overall. Both men will be back for the second leg to complete the 12-member squad and join the ranks of Sudarshana Muthuthanthri, Sudam Sooriyaarachchi, Jason Dissanayake, Omalka Gunarathane, Naveen Henakankanamage, Tarinda Ratwatte, Danush Dayan, Buddhima Piyarathane, Hirantha Perera and Kevin Dixon.

The third and final leg of the Asia 7’s, sponsored by premier connectivity provider Dialog Axiata, will be worked off on the Tuskers’ home turf on 14 and 15 October at the Racecourse Grounds in Colombo.
