Brought to you by the International Rugby Board (IRB) & Asian Rugby Football Union (ARFU), Kota Kinabalu hosts the IRB Borneo 7s yet again and will feature rugby teams from India, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Japan and not just Malaysia, but Sabah’s own local rugby players.

Yup, we're rugby fans ourselves and get way too few opportunities to watch live games here in Sabah. We're planning a whole weekend of just watching live rugby games, one after the other. See you there!
