Team Singapore’s Route to Asia Rugby Olympic Qualifiers

Singapore’s Men will be travelling to Hong Kong for the Asia Rugby Olympic Qualifiers today, 5th November 2015. After completing the Asia Rugby Sevens Series 2015 last month, Singapore is currently ranked as one of the top 7 teams in Asia. The team even capped off their best performance ever at the Societe Generale Singapore Cricket Club (SCC) International Rugby 7s 2015 by reaching the Plates Quarter Finals last weekend. Singapore’s Men will look to carry on their good form at the Asia Rugby Olympic Qualifiers where they are grouped with South Korea, China, Chinese Taipei and Rugby World Cup Nation, Japan.

In an effort to allow people who need to wear corrective lenses to do so safely while playing Rugby and to accommodate people with monocular vision or chronic eye conditions who wish to wear goggles while playing Rugby, World Rugby has developed specific goggles – “Rugby Goggles”. Rugby Goggles have been developed with a view to posing no additional risk to the wearer and other players.
