They also posted respectable results at other overseas such as the Dubai 7s and more recently the Hong Kong 10s.
Their players also featured prominently in the Sabah State Team that are the reigning champions of the prestigious Agong’s Cup.
The Borneo Eagles comprise of a spirited combination of former and current national players ably backed by guest players from Fiji, Samoa and New Zealand.
Playing on their own pitch at Sandakan Rugby Club (Home of the Eagles), they will be going all out to make this a memorable tournament i.e. to successfully defend the title and keep the Cup for at least another year.
