Fly_like_a_don 866 Posted November 20, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Now have the best chance in a century to qualify for a team sport finally. If they play the way they did in Asian Games losing to Japan in semis 10-12, we could see something interesting here. All matches will be livestreamed on facebook on Asian Rugby Page.
