Malaysia Keep Rugby World Cup Dream Alive
By Fred Culazzo
Malaysia have secured promotion to the Premier Division of the Asian Rugby Championship next year following a 22-9 win over Sri Lanka. The win will see them compete against Korea and Hong Kong next year in the ARC, with the winner earning a playoff spot to compete in the 2019 Ruby World Cup in Japan.
The squad will head to Australia & New Zealand for training in the coming months to prepare for the challenge. Currently ranked 47 in the World, Malaysia has over 41k registered rugby players and will be desperate to make the most of this opportunity to qualify for their first ever Rugby World Cup.

It was the strangest result ever. Etzebeth should've been yellow card for his cynical retiring move and a penalty try. Birth second half tries by the Allblacks were fantastic and the TMO operating outside the law to rule out the first try was egregious. Yes, the boks got the win but it was through some bizarre officiating that allowed them to sneak home against 14 men that dominated them. The quieter Bok supporters know and acknowledge the Allblacks were the better and dominant side. Justifying the win because they beat a pre world cup Allblacks selection is silly.
