  "summary": "The Malaysian men's national rugby sevens squad managed to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Asia Sevens Series after a narrow victory over Uzbekistan, despite suffering early defeats to Thailand and Hong Kong. The team bounced back with a 29-10 win against Uzbekistan in their final group match, which was enough to see them progress to the next round, where they will face Hong Kong once again. Meanwhile, the Malaysian women's team faced a difficult opening day, losing all three of their group matches to Hong Kong, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, and will now compete in a 9-12th place classification match against Sri Lanka tomorrow.",
