Women's Rugby At SUKMA XIX

The new Rugby grandstand.

What a lovely Saturday morning 15 September at the new Rugby stadium at Perak Stadium sports complex that even the Raja Muda of Kedah turned up.

 The sun was hot and bright with lots of action opportunities because of the women’s rugby.

 I came just when Perak was playing against Selangor. The women’s game is not as ‘vicious’ as the men’s but it had all the ingredients  of the game…..the kick, the scrum, run faster than the other team and dodge the tackles.

the scrum

... once you get the ball run like the wind  ...

...dodge all the tackles ..

....... until you place it on the goal line

It was all there and that made up a wonderful Hari Malaysia weekend.
