Philippines vs Malaysia 0–78
🇸🇬🇵🇭🇲🇾 #AsiaRugby SEA Championship
55 minutes needed Malaysia to win the title.
A dominant 12 try performance where the home team backs had fun exploiting the weaknesses on the Philippines defence.
Sadly, the Volcanoes end the tournament without scoring a single point.
Last game of the 🇸🇬🇵🇭🇲🇾 #AsiaRugby SEA Championship starting in just an hour.
A chance for redemption for the Philippines, while Malaysia would need to win by more than 51 points to take the title. Otherwise, Singapore will be champion.
Singapore vs Philippines 51–0
🇸🇬🇵🇭🇲🇾 #AsiaRugby SEA Championsip
Not one-sided, but there was never any doubt about who was the strongest team. Not many chances for the Volcanoes, and sadly they end with a 0 on the score.
A 9 try win (with 9 different scorers!) that puts Singapore temporally on the lead for the title.
Tomorrow day 2 of the 🇸🇬🇵🇭🇲🇾 #AsiaRugby SEA Championsip

🇸🇬🇵🇭🇲🇾 #AsiaRugby SEA Championsip
And it's a draw with 3 tries a piece.
Singapore looking stronger and being ahead a couple times had to score in the last play of the match to avoid defeat after the hosts managed to get a lead with just 9 minutes to go. It really could had gone any way.

Is not a secret #AsiaRugby is plagued by inaction since his Qatari president took over. So looks like the South East Asia Rugby Federation, founded last year, has decided to step up and organise a new tournament by themselves. The competition will kick-off in just 2 weeks in Selangor, Malaysia.
The biggest wins where:
* England vs Spain (97–7) on August 2
* Japan vs Kazakhstan (90–0) on May 15 for the #AsiaRugby Championship
While the closes non-draw game was England vs France (43–42) on April 26 as part of the #W6N

Hong Kong China vs Kazakhstan 29–12
🇯🇵🇭🇰🇰🇿 #AsiaRugby Championship
Hong Kong China gets a bonus win with strong mauls and moving the ball a lot. A ton of penalties on the 2nd half gave Kazakhstan some hope & they got their first points after 4 Tests in a row being zeroed, but the 17 HK points on the 1st half where a too wide gap to close

Japan vs Kazakhstan 90–0
🇯🇵🇭🇰🇰🇿 #AsiaRugby Championship
A prime example of what happens when a well drilled team faces one that plays 2 test a year. Japan gets their biggest test win EVER in what was little more than a training session. Better luck to Kazakhstan against Hong Kong China next Tuesday
May 15 Japan vs Kazakhstan May 20 Hong Kong China vs Kazakhstan May 25 Japan vs Hong Kong China
🇯🇵🇭🇰🇰🇿 #AsiaRugby Championship kicks off tomorrow with Japan, clear favourites, hosting Kazakhstan.
