Bangladesh set to host Nepal in Dhaka for International Rugby Series

Both Bangladesh and Nepal rugby unions have announced an “International Rugby Series” that will take place in Dhaka from 21-22 June 2022 with 7s and XVs men’s matches proposed.

The matches appear to be friendly internationals although there is little information about the Series at this point,

Nepal Rugby posted  in the first week of June 2022 that 28 players were called up for a closed camp “to prepare for the Bangabandhu Bangladesh-Nepal Friendly Series.”

Nepal became an Associate member of World Rugby in November 2020, while Bangladesh Rugby Football Union joined Asia Rugby as a full member in 2019.

The Nepal national team coaches were announced as Binod Tamang, Raj Tanka, and Gopal Chhetri with the squads set to form two 7s and one 15s match against the Bangladesh National Rugby team from June 21-22 in Dhaka.
