Chinese Taipei 10-6 Arabian GulfFancied Chinese Taipei found the going tough against a hard-working Arabian Gulf side but ultimately ran out narrow winners.Tries by Chiu Wei and Tsai Hsiang gave Chinese Taipei a 10-3 half time lead but in the second half the Gulf team retained more possession through their bigger ball carriers and in a pulsating final ten minutes pressured the Chinese Taipei line to no avail.
Brunei 0-22 IndiaHost Union Brunei showed inspirational commitment and intensity in the second match of the day. Cheered on by a boisterous crowd, the players responded with several try-saving tackles and some strong running, however the Indian side's greater team work and strong forward pack proved the difference.Although they were unable to finish off several of their opportunities, tries by second row Vahan Tevorsyman and flanker Rohaan Kersi Setaana sealed the match in the second half.
