Part 2 With Our Rimau 7s Coach
.
The strength of our sevens squad is more on speed, according to Coach Saizul. All players have certain capabilities but they all possess extraordinary speed while playing. And off course, rugby sevens demands this capability more than any other from the players.
.
For him, being a coach and once a player, both positions have their own difficulties and pressures. All players have to give 100% focus and effort during training and real competition. Being a coach, he has to push his boys and ensure that all of them are in a really good shape and are able to give excellent performance for a better result.
.
Coach Saizul is really close with the players. They are coach and players on the field. But outside, they are friends and brothers just like anyone else. During training, he frequently allows other players to share their knowledge and strategies among the players and also with all the other coaches. Through this sharing, it would create strong chemistry among players and coaches.
.
Apart of trying to retain the gold medal of the SEA Games, he also has other big dreams to fulfill. He strives to bring this national rugby sevens to be an equal match with the other teams playing in World Rugby Sevens Series. Apart from that, he is also trying to form a perfect team to win any medals for the upcoming Asian Games.
.
Coach Saizul urges all fans out there to keep supporting Malaysia rugby. This lovely sports is growing from time to time in Malaysia, and it is possible to create bigger dreams in the future. He vows the team will give their very best in every competition to bring Malaysia rugby to the top.
.
Rimau 7s will compete in the Asia Rugby 7s Olympic Qualifier Tournament on the 23rd and 24th November in Incheon, South Korea, before leaving for the Philippines to compete in the SEA Games event.
.
To Coach Saizul and the team, good luck and all the best. May the force be with all of you. Malaysia boleh!

Part 1 With Our Rimau 7s Coach
.
Mohd Saizul Hafifi Bin Md Noor needs zero introduction in Malaysia's rugby sevens arena. He was the former player of national rugby sevens team and had achieved tremendous glories in the past. His vast experiences has made him the head coach for the current national rugby sevens squad, Rimau 7s.
.
Talking about Rimau 7s preparation for the SEA Games, he is really proud with the boys as they have been showing remarkable team performance in the previous rugby sevens competitions. Even though the team is already on the right track, Coach Saizul is still concerned about the possibility of players injuries in the final preparation phase. The team cannot afford to lose any players at this time, as the real competition will commerce in a few weeks.
.
Coach Saizul also shares his thought on the challenges of being the national rugby sevens coach. The first challenge as a coach is to maintain team performance throughout the big tournaments like SEA Games, Asia Games and also the premier tournament of Asia Sevens Series. Besides, he has to create a complete package of rugby sevens team. He has to make sure each and every player possesses agility and outstanding fitness. Apart from that, as a coach, he has to ensure his players have full knowledge on rugby to gain maturity in playing the sports. Another big challenge in coaching sevens team is to form a great chemistry among players, not only on the training ground, but for every matches of any competitions.
.
For Coach Saizul, retaining the title as the gold medalist of the 2017 SEA Games is really a difficult and tough task for the team. As the defending champion, the team has to carry a huge pressure but he is really confident the boys will absolutely give everything to replicate the 2017's performance.
.
And to improve this wonderful sports in every sector, early grassroot development program is the main key for Coach Saizul. Early exposure for the kids is good to let the kids know better about this lovely sports. Besides, the coaches or the teachers at school should have a great basic in rugby to shape and build the character of a good rugby player.

Sonny Bill Williams and Dinesvaran Krishnan are the players that give a lot of influence in his rugby career. Admiring the All Blacks legends and wanted to be a professional player like Dinesvaran, who plays for Hino Red Dolphins in Japan, this young energetic man is ready to put his blood, sweat and tears for this beloved country in the upcoming SEA Games at the end of the month.
.
Born on 8th August 1994, the 25 years old Malaysia rugby sevens player, Mohamad Sofian Bin Kamil has been playing this tough sport since the age of 15.10 years later, now, he is one of the backbone of Rimau 7s, sparing no effort to duplicate the 'annus mirabilis' achievement in the last 2017 SEA Games.
.
Sofian first, made his historical Malaysia debut for 15-a-side junior rugby. After that, he then slowly made a slight transition to focus solely for rugby sevens since few years back, as his service is much needed for the national sevens team to instil more dynamic and strength.
.
Talking about SEA Games with Malaysia Rugby Union yesterday, Sofian is really determined to retain the title. For him, the strong and firm chemistry among teammates in and out the field is one of the special strength for Rimau 7s, and off course this will lead them to perform well in the competition. Everyone in the team has their own special capabilities and with the powerful chemistry, it will form a very strong team to be challenged by any competitors.
.
Sofian also urges all Malaysians out there to give endless support for them throughout the whole SEA Games competition. Their desire, discipline and determination will not be complete without the electrifying supports from the fans.
.
To Sofian and his teammates of Rimau 7s, all the best and good luck for the 2019 SEA Games in Philippines. And we also hope, your dream to play professionally overseas will become a reality in the future. Keep up the good work! Malaysia boleh!

After signing for a new club this year, the Hino Red Dolphins new comer, Dinesvaran 'Duke' Krishnan has been training hard since months ago with all his new teammates as the new season of 2020 is just around the corner.
.
The Malaysian rugby sensation is currently in a very crucial phase of training to fulfill the club's desire of achieving triumph in the upcoming Japanese Top League competition.
.
Sharing his training experience with Malaysia Rugby Union recently, the last few weeks were very intense and hard for him and everyone on the team. All the players had to give their 200% commitment, to ensure they are well-prepared physically and mentally.
.
Duke and the team only have one training session per day but every session will be fully utilised without leaving anything behind. Few months before the kick off of the league, Duke and the rest will have physical gym session and skill training session thrice a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). However on Tuesday and Thursday, they will focus solely on the ground, fitness and unit training, while Saturday and Sunday are their off days.
.
As Hino Red Dolphins has a special collaboration and partnership with the Super Rugby giant of Crusaders, all players will have special sessions of unit training with the Crusaders' coaches, starting from this week. This will help to improve their shape as a unit, preparing the best for the real matches soon.
.
From time to time, Duke is looking really good with his new club, amazingly adapting well with the new environment of the club. With so much effort and determination, Duke will obviously become one of the prominent player for this great club, helping them to achieve glory in the future.
.
We will always support our warrior from afar. Keep working and fighting hard Duke! All the best and good luck!
