Sri Lanka overcame a disjointed first-half performance to beat Singapore 33-17 in the opening match of the Asia Rugby Championship Division I on Sunday. Ranked 38th in the world and 21 spots higher than their opponents, the Sri Lankans began sluggishly and were put under pressure by the Singaporean forwards. The Republic scored two tries through winger Jay-Hykel Jailani and back Peter McFeeley at the Royal Selangor Stadium in Kuala Lumpur to lead 17-15 at the break. But the South Asian side awoke in the next 40 minutes to score 18 unanswered points to seal the win
