Leow Kim Liat of Police Military was to captain the side, but was injured prior and was unable to play.

The team was led by Leow Kim Liat and performed credibly with a 4th placing result. </p><p>In 1975, the Singapore National team took part in the <a href="/wiki/1975_Southeast_Asian_Peninsular_Games" class="mw-redirect" title="1975 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games">SEAP Games</a> in Bangkok and emerged 3rd winning a bronze medal. In 1977, under the presidency of renowned lawyer, Mr Howard Cashin, Singapore, as an all citizens national team, took part in the <a href="/wiki/1977_Southeast_Asian_Games" class="mw-redirect" title="1977 Southeast Asian Games">SEA Games</a> held at Kuala Lumpur and emerged runner up with a silver medal. </p><p>The national team's best season was in 1978 when they beat the Singapore-based 1st RNZIR battalion team in the semi-finals of the <a href="/wiki/Malaysian_Rugby_Union" class="mw-redirect" title="Malaysian Rugby Union">MRU Cup</a> competition played in Kuala Lumpur, and then went on to win the grand final. Later in the same year, also in Kuala Lumpur at the <a href="/wiki/1978_ARFU_Asian_Rugby_Championship" title="1978 ARFU Asian Rugby Championship">6th Asian Rugby Football Tournament</a>, the Singapore all-Asian nationals team emerged third in Asia against all odds, after Japan and Korea.

The Singapore all-nationals team won the 1978 Team of the Year award, the Coach of the Year went to rugby coach, Natahar Bava and Sportsman of the Year went to the pack leader, Song Koon Poh. This was a "Grand Slam" achievement by the game of rugby in the history of sport in Singapore. </p><p>The MRU Cup victory feat was repeated again in 1982, and again the team was coached by Natahar Bava. Likewise, the 7s game also flourished in Singapore from 1977 to 1982. The Singapore all-nationals team played in the ever popular <a href="/wiki/Hong_Kong_7s" class="mw-redirect" title="Hong Kong 7s">Hong Kong 7s</a> in 1978, emerging as Plate finalists. In 1979, the team qualified for the cup quarter finals for first time ever but eventually lost out to Western Samoa. In 1980 Singapore again qualified for the plate finals. In spite of all the adversities encountered, these achievements by local rugby and the SRU then were momentous indeed and showed that local rugby did flourish in the late 1970s and 1980s. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1990s_to_2009">1990s to 2009</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rugby_union_in_Singapore&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: 1990s to 2009"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:National_Stadium,_Singapore_34,_May_07_ver_2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/National_Stadium%2C_Singapore_34%2C_May_07_ver_2.jpg/310px-National_Stadium%2C_Singapore_34%2C_May_07_ver_2.jpg" decoding="async" width="310" height="175" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/National_Stadium%2C_Singapore_34%2C_May_07_ver_2.jpg/465px-National_Stadium%2C_Singapore_34%2C_May_07_ver_2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/National_Stadium%2C_Singapore_34%2C_May_07_ver_2.jpg/620px-National_Stadium%2C_Singapore_34%2C_May_07_ver_2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1341" data-file-height="759" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Former_National_Stadium,_Singapore" title="Former National Stadium, Singapore">Former National Stadium</a> which closed in 2007 hosted many of Singapore's rugby internationals.</figcaption></figure> <p>Singapore rugby did not maintain the same levels of achievement into the 1990s.
