“Hosting international rugby is a great step towards promotion of this game in the country and for this, PRU Chairman Fawzi Khawaja, President Arif Saeed and the entire team management deserve full credit. Hopefully, we will play better in the next match and try to clean-sweep Uzbekistan, as it will help us qualify for the Asia Rugby Division-II,” Kashif concluded.
