South China Tigers face Western Force in final Asian Showcase Series match

This Sunday, May 12th 2019, will see the South China Tigers play the Western Force. The rugby union game is the final Global Rapid Rugby Asian Showcase Series 2019 rugby match.

The Western Force are unbeaten in the series. However they had to work hard to overcome the Asia Pacific Dragons in Singapore last week with a narrow win 7-3. The South China Tigers themselves only have one win this season, which did come at home at the Aberdeen Ground a few weeks ago, also playing the Asia Pacific Dragons.

The Western Force cant be knocked form the summit of the Asia Showcase Series log but the Tigers will be keen to grab a win in preparation for next years Global Rapid Rugby inaugural season, assuming it goes ahead.
