The Philippines is the most successful team in the Asian Five Nations next to Japan. The Volcanoes have lost only one match in the past four years, losing to South Korea in Division 1 last year. Fielding a 100% Filipino heritage squad with all members having at least one parent or grandparent born in the Philippines, the Volcanoes are eager to claim victory on home soil. The winner of Division 1 will be promoted to the Asian 5 Nations Elite level in 2013 to compete with Asian Rugby powerhouses Japan, Hong Kong, UAE and Kazakhstan.
Mr. Jarrad Gallagher, Regional General Manager for Asia of the IRB commented on the tournament’s development at every level saying, “Over the years we have seen the matches become more and more competitive, not only have several teams reduced the margins against Japan, but the gaps are closing at every level as a result of the intensity of the HSBC A5N. This can only be a boost for rugby in the region.”
Joining the Philippines in Division 1 are Sri Lanka, Singapore and Chinese Taipei. The teams will play each other in a new round-robin format with the objective of further preparing teams for promotion to the Top 5. To learn more about the HSBC Asian 5 Nations Series, go to www.asian5nations.com

The second leg of the Asian Rugby Sevens Series is to be held in Borneo on October 30-31st and a new Filipino team has been named to improve on the September's Shanghai 7s performance. The opposition will be equally strong but National Team coach Matt Cullen believes that the new team playing a more aggressive style will be able to improve the Philippines ranking and give them a chance of attending the 2011 Hong Kong 7’s.
The team will be training at Cuenca Field (Alabang) and Nomad Sports Club before flying to Kota Kinabalu on October 28. Upon their arrival back from the tournament on November 1, they'll visit the Bahay Bata Center in Angeles for a fun training day with the children.
