Speaker 2: So the Asia Rugby Emirates under 27 is an important pathway competition for Asia Rugby.
Speaker 2: Uh, it bridges the gap between age grade competition and the senior competition. So in Asia Rugby, we have a strong seven trophy and seven series competition that happen annually. We have an under 18s competition, age grade and the under 20s bridges that gap and provides that pathway for athletes, young athletes who want to play for their national teams to play at this level, which helps them take the step up to international level, the seniors.
Speaker 2: Good. Do you want me to say something about India and
Speaker 1: Yeah, just say about, just say one line about Rugby India and the government of Odisha.
Speaker 2: Okay
Speaker 2: Okay. So this is the second year in a row we come to to India. Rugby India is an important partner for Asia Rugby in hosting competitions. So we were here last year and and we're again coming here to to Odisha, to Bhubaneshwar. Of course, without the support of the government of of Odisha, we won't be able to to to host such a competition at high level here with with our partners Rugby India.
