Cambodia 28, Brunei 0 in Phnom Phen (Asia Nations Division 5-2nd Leg)
Cambodia easily won this division with a 66 aggregate against the visiting Brunei side. The question is will they be promoted to Division 4 with Laos relegated to Division 5?

Preview
It is very difficult to make predictions for this game. Firstly Brunei wasn’t on the test rugby scene last year so it’s difficult gauge their strengths. I’m going for the host nation to take this game but only narrowly.

Asian rugby is organised into levelled competitions. At the top is the Asia5Nations, followed by divisions 1 to 4, and below that are regional competitions, from which further divisions can be made. In 2010 a new 4th division was created out of a 2009 regional division. The only regional tournament in Asia for 2010 is being held in Phnom Pehn, Cambodia. The teams are Cambodia, Laos and Brunei.

Cambodia has already played a Mekong Cup test match against Laos, so they will be more match-fit than Brunei. Cambodia is also playing on home turf, a big advantage at this level of international rugby. The Combodians won't forget the loss they suffered against Brunei in the regional tournament held in Laos last year.
