The final cut of 10 for the Singapore has been for the Hong Kong Women's 7s 2008.

Better known as "Adik" to her teammates, Aslinda Abdullah, has represented the republic in no less than 12 ranked 7s tournaments since 2001 and will be leading the team to Hong Kong this year.

With the focus on developing young elite players, of her 10 member squad, only two others, Ang and Chua, have ever played at the Hong Kong event.

The nippy scrumhalf has a quiet confidence of the team's capabilities in terms of raw speed and flair. "It will definitely be an experience for many of the players who are rookies to the Hong Kong Women's 7s. Despite the relative inexperience in the team internationally, we've got plenty of pace everywhere and that is something we will be looking to capitalise on."

Singapore will meet Arabian Gulf and Canada in their pool on the 27th of March.




Team: Aslinda Abdullah (c), Ang Weiyi (vc), Derelyn Chua, Clarissa Lim, Angelina Liu, Tan Hui Juan, Amanda Teo, Wong Yilin, Annabel Woo, Angela Zheng.

Coach: Marcus Yeo; Team Manager: Audrey Koh; Physio: Tan Geok Mei
