Men’s Asia Rugby Sevens Trophy 2022
There are 12 men’s teams involved and this Trophy Series is seen as a second-tier event so teams like Hong Kong, and Korea (participating in the Challenger Series), Japan is not involved, and China has been in the UK training. Sri Lanka and Malaysia recently competed at the Commonwealth Games.
The Iraqi national rugby men’s 7s rugby coach Mustafa Abdel said on the Iraq Rugby FB that the team’s debut in the Asia Rugby Seven trophy saw them prepare in a camp in Dubai and that despite their lack of experience participating in such tournaments, they were hoping to have a good experience in Jakarta at the Trophy event. The team lost to UAE men 19-0 in a preparation match in Dubai.
Pakistan Rugby announced the inclusion of 23-year-old Amir butt (Lahore Hawks) who only started playing rugby in 2018, while the team is captained by Daud Gill.
The India men’s team took the long route and prepared in camp in South Africa for the Trophy Series event. The Indian men’s team is captained by Prince Khatri.
