Royal Malaysia Police: Terengganu's Final Hurdle to the Final

Terengganu's undefeated run in the Agong Cup Rugby Championship faces its sternest test as they prepare to clash with Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) in the semi-finals. The match, scheduled for the Tengku Muhammad Ismail Rugby Stadium, pits the league leaders against a formidable opponent with a history of success.

The pressure is definitely on both teams. Terengganu is playing at home, while PDRM comes with the reputation of being the defending champions.

In their previous meeting during the group stage, Terengganu edged out PDRM with a narrow 26-25 victory. This close contest highlights the minimal difference between the two teams and suggests another intense battle is likely. Despite PDRM's status as three-time consecutive champions, they have shown inconsistency this season, suffering two defeats in the group stage.

Our mission is clear: to win, but we will not underestimate our opponent.

Terengganu's head coach, Hafiizh Zainal, acknowledged the pressure on both sides. "The pressure is definitely on both teams.

The previous meeting that ended with a one-point victory shows the gap between the two teams is quite small and this match is expected to be even tighter.

Zainal added that their previous one-point victory indicates a tight contest, and the upcoming match is expected to be even more fiercely contested. "Our undefeated record is not a guarantee for us to feel comfortable, especially when playing in front of our own supporters," he concluded, underscoring the determination to secure a place in the final.
