APD and Western Force Singapore GRR clash
The Asia Pacific Dragons and Western Force square up for the penultimate Global Rapid Rugby Asia Showcase Series game in Singapore on May 5th.
The two teams met each other in Perth with the Australian team coming out on top 42-10, however the Force are coming into the game on the back of a loss to the Japanese Wolfpack (Japan rugby RWC training squad) while the APD beat the South China Tigers in Singapore last week to claim their first GRR win.
The final game of the Asian Showcase Series 2019 will take place next week in Hong Kong as the South Sea Tigers host the Western Force, which will also determine the final placings on the log.
The rugby union game can be streamed live here.
