Sri Lanka made two changes to their squad while original captain Sudarshana Muthuthanthri returned after recovering from an injury to lead the team for the second leg of the Asian Rugby Sevens Series Men’s tournament which will get underway on September 29 and 30 at Incheon in South Korea.
Three quarters Kavindu Perera and Gayan Weeraratne have been ruled out due to injuries
The selectors have replaced them with CR & FC forward Shehan Dias and CH and FC speedster cum former Peterite vice captain Nishon Perera
But yet again the rugby fraternity are shocked to see the non inclusion of CR & FC’s outstanding number eight Omalka Gunaratne, who was adjudged the best player at the recently concluded inter club rugby sevens tournament.
