Asia Rugby Emirates U20 Championship: India’s U20 Women’s team capped off a memorable return to the Asia Rugby Emirates U20 Championship with a bronze medal, defeating Uzbekistan in the third-place playoff on home soil in Rajgir, Bihar.

Bhumika opened the scoring to make it 7-0 before Guriya Kumari crossed the line to extend the lead to 12-0. Uzbekistan rallied with a try of their own, but India’s defence - roared on by a passionate Rajgir crowd - held firm to secure the victory and the podium finish.
