The Asia Rugby U-20 Sevens Series is scheduled to take place on the 10th and 11th of August at Kings Park, Hong Kong.
The Junior Tuskers have had success coming into this tournament in the recent past, and also managed to rewrite history in 2016 when the team, led by Kevin Dixon clinched the Championship.
Last year Sri Lanka faced Chinese Taipei, Philippines, Malaysia and China in the Pool ‘A’, and made the best of it by winning every game and reserving their spot in the final. But, unfortunately the Junior Tuskers lost to Hong-Kong in the Cup final.
This year too, Sri Lanka has the opportunity to make it to the final as they are favorites to emerge as group toppers.
