Arabian Gulf face South Korea

DUBAI - The Sevens stadium on Friday will host the Arabian Gulf’s final match of their Asian 5 Nations campaign, and final XVs game for the AGRFU, a press release informed.

In this thrilling match, South Korea, who are currently at the bottom of the table having suffered two losses, will be looking to obtain their first points in the competition, whilst the Arabian Gulf will be looking to secure their place in the table through another win.

Unfortunately for the Arabian Gulf, their hopes of world cup qualification and continued representation for the AGRFU is too far out of reach with Japan already topping the table with two games at hand and Hong Kong having earned two bonus points to be ranked second.

Andy Cole, Chairman, Arabian Gulf Rugby Football Union, commented on the final match: “This match marks the end of an era for the AGRFU as the Arabian Gulf XVs compete in their last ever international on home soil. “It will be an emotional game for the team as they look to leave a legacy behind for the AGRFU, and for a number of players such as the boys outside the UAE this will most likely be their last chance to compete at an international level. The Arabian Gulf, coming off the back of their loss to Japan, is fully focused on the upcoming game and will definitely give it everything they’ve got.”
