Sri Lanka’s rugby team, led by captain Tharinda Ratwatte, is gearing up to shake things up in their Asia Rugby clash against Hong Kong this Sunday. Fresh off a dominant 59-19 win over Malaysia and a tight match against South Korea, the underdog Tuskers are back in the top tier after over a decade—but they’re facing a Hong Kong squad that hasn’t lost in the championship since 2018. Ratwatte’s "make some noise" attitude hints at a fiery showdown, even if the odds aren’t in their favor.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another rugby match—it’s a comeback story. Sri Lanka’s return to the top division after years away adds drama to the game, and their recent performances suggest they’re not just there to fill a slot. For fans, it’s a chance to see an underdog challenge a regional powerhouse, and for Sri Lanka, it’s about proving they belong. Even if they lose, their fighting spirit could turn heads and reignite interest in the sport back home.
