Asian Rugby Championship – Held In Ipoh

The Asian Rugby Championship 2017 Division 1 will be held at the Ipoh Padang, Ipoh from the 14^th  to the 20^th of May next week.

I discovered this when I inquired what was going on at the Padang yesterday. Workers were seen preparing for the event and unloading pipes and media equipment at the padang.

What really caught my eye were the tyre-tracks on the field and the white patches of sand indicating the field had been compromised.  The event is for a week so hopefully the field is fine after the event.

The countries in Div 1 taking  part are Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka and United Arab Emirates.

Below are the fixtures of the event.
