March 2026 was a blockbuster month for Asian rugby — a tale of two vastly different but equally thrilling weekends.
It began with high-stakes domestic drama under the floodlights of King’s Park, Hong Kong, and ended with the sun-drenched festival atmosphere of the Philippines. This is the story of how the hardware was won.
Two weekends. Two countries.
The kind of month that reminds you why rugby in Asia is worth following.
On March 14, King’s Park hosted the Nan Fung Group | AIRSIDE Premiership Grand Championship Finals.
When the Women’s and Men’s finals got underway, every team on the pitch was a Pillar Sports partner — the USRC Tigers Women, Valley RFC, and Hong Kong Football Club all competing at the top of the game.
The Women’s final was tight from the first whistle. The USRC Tigers Women and Valley RFC served up exactly the kind of contest the season deserved — physical, hard-fought, and settled by the narrowest of margins. The Tigers won 27–24.
The Men’s final was just as competitive. HKFC and Valley RFC pushed each other through a full 80 minutes of Premiership rugby at its best. HKFC took it 26–19 to claim the title.
Four Pillar Sports partners. Two finals. We’re proud to support the clubs that set the standard for Hong Kong rugby.
One week later, the rugby community made its way to Alabang Country Club in the Philippines for the Manila 10s. Where the Hong Kong finals were about structure and intensity, Manila was the antidote.
The Manila 10s blends fast 10s rugby with a genuine festival atmosphere — elite touring sides and local clubs on the same pitch, veterans who should have retired years ago lining up against the next generation, and cold beers at the clubhouse when the day’s games are done (or during).
The Extinct Volcanoes set the tone early, sweeping both the VETS 35s and VETS 45s titles. The Samurais took the Men’s Bowl. The USRC Tigers claimed the Men’s Plate. The Magandaquins won the Women’s Cup, outpacing the SKF Mavericks Women in a hard-hitting final.
But the moment of the weekend was the Men’s Cup final. The Global Maharlikans — representing the heart of Filipino rugby — faced the Eagles RFC and played with the kind of energy only a home crowd can produce.
Blistering line breaks. Bone-crunching tackles. When the final whistle blew, the Maharlikans stood as Men’s Cup champions, and the crowd went into an absolute frenzy.
Different cities. Different formats. Different crowds.
But the same thing at the core: rugby in Asia is competitive, growing, and producing moments worth remembering.
At Pillar Sports, we follow this sport because we genuinely love it. Watching these tournaments grow — in quality, in depth, in the stories they produce — is part of why we do what we do.
