Japan’s epic Men’s 15s performance in the RWC on Saturday to overcome Tier 1 Ireland inspired their Men’s and Women’s 7s squads on the other side of Asia in Sri Lanka to both win the 2019 Asia Rugby Sevens Series and cap a perfect weekend for Asia’s rugby powerhouse.

Japan’s men bounced back from their failure to make the final in China to overcome their nemesis, Hong Kong 17-12 in the Colombo final.

Japan men’s captain, Jose Seru said “the (RWC) win yesterday really lifted the boys up after we came 3rd in the tournament in China.

We really wanted to build as a team and win this tournament for Japan and for our families back at home”. Commenting on Japan’s Cup Semi Final loss to China 2 weeks ago in Huizhou, which was China’s 1st ever men’s 7s victory over Japan, Seru said “China are really going well with their new coach and staff in the future are going to do some damage”.

Hong Kong once again showed their 7s prowess to reach their 3rd successive men’s final and be series runners up.

Many of the 2019 Asia Series teams now turn their focus to the Asia Qualifier tournaments for the 2020 Olympic Games #AR7sQ , to the Women’s Qualifier in Guangzhou, China on 9-10 November #ARand the Men’s Qualifier back in Incheon, Korea on 23-24 November.
