Thais outpaced Singapore to victory.
















Thailand gave Singaporeans a rugby lesson as the Thais whooped Singapore 26-3 in a fiesty affair. There were moments of tension between the two nation though I have to say that the Singapore side have an advantage over size. However, that didn’t stop the Thais from dominating the game with their excellence pace and they were tactically superior than the Singaporeans. Everytime Singapore attacked, the Thais were up to the task and their defence was difficult to penetrate.
By half time, the Thais only had a minor lead of 8-3 courtesy of a try from Kantachai Chayapirom and a penalty kick by Thai No.10 Attavut Thanakat. But it was the Lions that had the lead from a penalty kick in the 2nd minute through Singapore No.7 Daryl Tay Siow Siang.
The second half was entertaining as both teams were desperate to score tries. Singapore put up a brave fight but the Thais kept on counter attacking and they managed to find gaps through Singapore defence and scored three more tries through Suphawit Muongmee to put the game beyond reach. The Thais were also clynical from the penalty as Attavut Thanakit converted a few penalty kicks to increase their lead. Singapore had their moments but they kept slipping away. Both teams went into this match with one loss each from their opening matches. Final score: Singapore 3 Thailand 26.
