Malaysian Women Rugby @ Asian 7s Women Championship

Recently the RSC Dingoes emerge as the Jonah Jones 7s 2012 Cup Champion and at the time of this posting the girls are in Pune, India for the Asian 7s Women Rugby Championship. These girls compete in the tournament on their own expenditure and their grit and determination to try and put Malaysian Women's Rugby on the international scene is something that has to be respect. I found out these girls compete in competitions locally and Internationally with their own expenditure since they find it difficult to make ends meet to get sponsors. 

I understand that the girls has passed the hat around for funding with a Facebook posting but I have no idea how much they had collected. 

This was the Facebook message posted by the RSC Dingoes, " We are short of money. So, if any of you would like to chip in, please liaise with Uni ( ooni.muhammad@gmail.com ) »Even RM10 counts!«

However they are already in Pune flying through Singapore due to a cheaper fare compared flying out of KLIA.

Without a better and strong competitor, sports team will not be able to progress in terms of performance. They need more International exposures. That is one of the reason why our champions remain as Jaguh Kampong because there is no opponent in the country to beat them and then they will complacent because of the winning comfort.
