It was a very great event last night, with the special presence of Sultan of Perak, Paduka Seri Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Azlan Muhibbuddin Shah Al-Maghfurlah to the Malaysia Rugby Royal Dinner 2020.
.
Known for his love and passion towards rugby, Sultan Nazrin is the number one big fan of the Malaysia Bunga Raya and also the New Zealand All Blacks. Knowing that Malaysia Rugby Union needs 'hands' to develop the sport, Sultan Nazrin has tried his best effort to bring the two rugby legends of the world, Andrew Mehrtens (All Blacks) and Toutai Kefu (Wallabies) to Malaysia. Indeed, the dream comes true, as these two rugby legends are already in Malaysia to share and transfer their vast knowledge as well as the experiences to our local talents through several rugby clinics in Perak and Selangor.
.
Here, Malaysia Rugby Union would like to take this opportunity to give our utmost gratitude towards the Sultan of Perak, Paduka Seri Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Azlan Muhibbuddin Shah Al-Maghfurlah for making the last night's dinner meaningful, as well as for the tremendous support towards the union all these while. Not to forget, thank you to all our strategic partners, who came to the dinner. Without all of these strategic partners, Malaysia Rugby Union could not stand where it is, today.
.
We are looking forward to a great year of Malaysia rugby. Daulat Tuanku! Thank you partners!

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much."
.
Calling out all Malaysia rugby fans out there to unite as one, to keep giving tremendous support towards our 'Bunga Raya' boys for the 2020 campaign.
.
It is not about winning or losing. It is all about the PRIDE, PASSION, and TRADITION of this sport in Malaysia. Thank you for the enormous support of yours all these while. Don't stop there, as the team needs all of you forever.

Sekolah Menengah Sains Kuala Selangor, or better known as Kuala Selangor Science Secondary School (KUSESS) is a boarding school situated less than a kilometer to Kuala Selangor Sports Complex. As the school has produced several great talents in sports arena, this is where one of the talented Malaysia rugby player began his remarkable rugby journey.
.
Born on 14th September 1993, Muhamad Amirul Aqil Bin Kamsol, is a gifted 'Bunga Raya' rugby player. Known as Ben among friends and teammates, he has been developing his rugby skills since his years in KUSESS. The Banting-born player regularly plays as a flyhalf and a fullback, with a tremendous ability of brilliant kicking duty.
.
As experience is the best teacher of all, Ben earns valuable experiences and lessons from several local clubs, such as Scorpian Putrajaya, UM Blues and also the famous club of NS Wanderers. These clubs have shaped him to become a great rugby player, thus making him ready to play for the national team.
.
Picking Daniel Carter and his teammates Amirul Mukminin Amizan as his idols, Ben made his historical Malaysia's debut in 2015, after playing for the young Malaysia U23 team against Singapore. A stunning job with the junior team had earned him a place to play for the senior team, against Sri Lanka.
.
After helping Sabah to reach the final of 2019 Agong's Cup Rugby Championship, Ben is currently continuing the momentum to secure a spot in the 'Bunga Raya' squad for the 2020 Asia Rugby Championship. He even sets a target to beat South Korea in that competition.
.
Holding a Degree in Sports Science from University of Malaya, the 26-year-old would love to play professionally abroad if he gets the opportunity. He knows, he has to put supreme effort in order to achieve that dream, just like the other compatriots such as Marc Le, Dinesvaran Krishnan, and Amin Jamaluddin.
.
Speaking to Malaysia Rugby Union recently in Kuala Lumpur, Ben urges all the youngsters out there to never ever give up trying, if they want to pursue their rugby dreams. Failure and rejection are nothing but the first step to success.
.
Good luck and all the best Ben. 2020 is going to be huge! See you soon!

"Do not ever give up!"
.
This talented player mentioned those words during our interview with him recently. "Having a good discipline in and out of the field, giving full attention towards coaches' words, and enjoy everything you do can be the keys to be a good rugby player", added the prolific Kelantanese to all new and young players out there.
.
Muhammad Ameer Nasrun Bin Zulkeffli, or better known as 'Awe' among teammates and fans, is the versatile and utility player for Malaysia Rugby Sevens team. Born on 24th March 1993, Awe has been a prominent player for the national team since his first memorable debut during the Asia Sevens Series in 2012.
.
Getting his secondary education in the same place as his fellow compatriot Azwan Mat Zizi, which was SMK Yahya Petra 1 Kelantan (Form 1-3), Awe then continued his study in Johor after being offered to focus on his rugby at Sekolah Sukan Tunku Mahkota Ismail (SSTMI). With the big opportunity, Awe first made his club debut with the local club of SSTMI Tsunami, a fifteen-a-side rugby club based in Johor, before decided to focus on rugby sevens.
.
Choosing the famous flying Fijian, William Ryder as his favourite player, Awe also admires the local Malaysia rugby legend, Mohd Khairul Azhar (known as Pok Ar) as his local rugby hero. These two players have been giving great inspirations on his games, especially after being crowned as the SEA Games' gold medalist in 2017 (Malaysia) , and the silver medalist in 2019 (Philippines).
.
Talking about professional career, he does not deny the possibility to play rugby 15s again in the future, if a great opportunity and offer arise as he has been dreaming to play professionally abroad.
.
Despite playing rugby, Awe is also a student, currently enrolling at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), studying his Degree In Education (Physical Education). If the opportunity to go professional looks very difficult, Awe is already planning his path as an educator, hoping to produce numerous talents in the future.
.
With so many achievements as a national rugby sevens player, Malaysia Rugby Union is very proud to have this kind of player. Way to go Awe! All the best and good luck in the future!

As the 2020 campaign is just around the corner, we assume that all players are currently training very hard to prepare for the state league.
.
The presence of new talents from every state will definitely give extra strength, as well as the variations and options for the team. The coaches and senior players are like the teachers and mentors, as maximum support and endless encouragement are vital for the rookies to prepare mentally, and physically for this kind of competitive rugby campaign.
.
And for the new players themselves, they have to work very hard with the given once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Every opportunity should be utilised by them, as it might be a great stepping stone to chase the desired rugby dreams.
.
Malaysia Rugby Union is eagerly waiting for all of you to wear the sacred 'Bunga Raya' jersey. We do not have the luxury to select the players for the national team, so keep working hard, to be the chosen one. We believe, Malaysia rugby have a bright future.
.
All the best and keep up the good work, players!
.
"Work hard in silence and let your success be your noise."

Below, was the conversation between the All Blacks and Hurricanes scrum-half, TJ Perenara and the South African referee, Rasta Rasivhenge during the Super Rugby game between Hurricanes and Jaguares in Buenos Aires last Saturday.
.
Rasta Rasivhenge : "Did you get it, TJ?"
.
TJ Perenara : "No, sir."
.
Rasta Rasivhenge : "Thanks for your honesty, TJ. That's good leadership by you. Thank you very much."
.
In one of the plentiful actions during the game, Rasta Rasivhenge did not see clearly Perenara's grounding (ball) in the try zone of Jaguares, as numerous players had already covered the ball. The South African referee then opted to ask the ball carrier himself, which was TJ Perenara, whether he successfully made a try or not. Perenara quickly replied the 34-year-old referee that he had failed to ground the ball over the try-line.
.
Honesty. Sportsmanship.
.
This is what rugby is all about. It is not just about winning and losing, it is also about building the top-notch character as well as developing the smashing attitude, to not only be implemented during competition, but also for daily life. Surely a great lesson for all. And remember, 'honesty is the best policy'.

In rugby union, there are 3 versions of rugby; the usual rugby fifteens (15-a-side rugby), rugby sevens (7-a-side rugby), and last but not least the rugby tens (10-a-side rugby).
.
We would like to hear your opinion on these three versions. Share with us your favourite version of rugby (15s / 7s / 10s) and why you like it so much to play that type of rugby.

Throwback Saturday!
.
Rimau 7s had gained a valuable experience last year during the two-day event of Asia Rugby Men's Sevens Qualification Tournament for Olympic Tokyo 2020. Let's recap the results for the tournament at Namdong Asiad Stadium of Incheon, South Korea;
.
POOL STAGE (POOL A)
Malaysia 🇲🇾 (26) VS (19) 🇹🇼 Chinese Taipei
Malaysia 🇲🇾 (0) VS (54) 🇭🇰 Hong Kong
.
QUARTER FINAL CUP
Malaysia 🇲🇾 (7) VS (32) 🇰🇷 South Korea
.
SEMI FINAL PLATE (5TH - 8TH PLACING)
Malaysia 🇲🇾 (21) VS (7) 🇸🇬 Singapore
.
FINAL PLATE (5TH - 6TH PLACING)
Malaysia 🇲🇾 (7) - (14) 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka
.
As the team has targeted to qualify for Olympic Los Angeles 2028, there are so many things to be done from now onwards, to close the gap especially with the Asia's giants like Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea.
.
The future Rimau 7s team might not have the same line up as today, but the desire and determination to qualify for Olympic Los Angeles 2028 remains.
.
If we are consistent with our great result for all future tournaments, as well as for the development of the sport in Malaysia, 8 years from now, Malaysia Rugby Sevens team will be there, playing for the first time ever in the biggest sporting event of the world. Nothing is impossible, nothing. Let's start now, players!
.
"Winners never quit. Quitters never win."

Being a student-athlete is already difficult enough, but being a student-athlete, as well as the captain of the team, is another level of responsibility.
.
Bringing his team to capture the glory of winning the 2019 Asia Rugby U19 Division 2 competition last December, was like a dream came true for the young Malaysian to lead the team playing for the Division 1 this year.
.
Born on 17th April 2000, Muhamad Hafiezie Bin Sudin is the captain of Malaysia U19 rugby team. Hafiezie normally plays as one of the centres, and is the first choice prolific kicker, who is responsible in executing the kicking duty for the team.
.
Becoming one of the prominent player for SMK Sultan Yahya Petra 1 in Kelantan which was his first rugby team during school, the offer to spread his rugby 'wings' to play for the sports school of Sekolah Sukan Tunku Mahkota Ismail (SSTMI) could not be resisted, and was once in a lifetime chance, to keep his rugby dreams alive.
.
Idolising the local Malaysia sevens hero Azwan Mat Zizi and the All Blacks lightning speed Rieko Ioane, Hafiezie made his historical debut for Malaysia in 2017, during the ARFU U17 competition. At the moment, the 19-year-old is trying his best to seek a spot in the senior team, to play for the 2020 Asia Rugby Championship. Despite the target, he is also trying to find any platform to play professionally abroad, to follow the footsteps of the current Malaysian sensation, Dinesvaran Krishnan who plays in Japan Rugby Top League for Hino Red Dolphins.
.
Talking about how he manage his time as a student-athlete, Hafiezie highlights the word focus and discipline in his sharing. Stay focus and give full attention while studying, and keep giving more than 100% effort during training. With that, killing two birds with one stone will much be easier.
.
"Do not let anyone stop you from pursuing your dreams", said Hafiezie to all rugby players and fans out there. If you have determination, discipline, and desire, nothing is impossible in this life.
