The Global Rapid Rugby (GRR) rolls into Singapore as the Asia Pacific Dragons (ADP) host their first game of the Asian Showcase Series 2019 against the HK based South China Tigers (SCT). Last week the two teams battled it out in Hong Kong with the SCT winning 29-19.

Asia Pacific Dragons are looking to secure their 1st win after losses to the Western Force and South China Tigers.

The teams will play today, Sunday 28th April at 3:10 PM Singapore time, from the Queenstown Stadium. Kids under 14 years of age can attend the game for free.
