Muamalat Bullets marched through the 2026 Muamalat Super 5 Rugby friendly series with command, finishing unbeaten and standing tall at the top of the table.

A MODEST START WITH MASSIVE MEANING FOR RUGBY

-
Image
Photo: Muhammad Mohd Fadzil (TSS) After years of silence, a long-missed heartbeat is slowly returning to Malaysian rugby. It has been a very long time since fans last witnessed a true national-level club competition. The Malaysia Rugby Super League faded away after 2017, leaving a void that even the prestigious Piala Agong could not fully replace. For too long, top-tier inter-club rugby simply disappeared from the local landscape. That is why the return of elite competition, even in a modest form, matters deeply. Rugby in Malaysia needs a platform where clubs can test themselves at the highest level, rebuild ambition, and reignite belief. This season, Bank Muamalat stepped forward with the Muamalat Super 5 Rugby , attempting to revive what had been lost. Champions from state leagues were invited, but time constraints limited commitments. Rather than cancel the idea entirely, the organisers pressed on with a four-team friendly series.

From the quiet hills of Castelnau-Magnoac to the thunderous stadiums of world rugby, Antoine Dupont’s journey is the kind of story sport rarely produces. Raised in a rural village in southwest France, he grew up surrounded by farms, animals, and hard work, a lifestyle that shaped his strength, discipline, and unbreakable character.

Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) once again proved their dominance as a rugby powerhouse after clinching the 2025 Piala Agong title, defeating Johor 18-17 in a thrilling final at UM Arena earlier this evening. Even sweeter, the victory marked a historic hat-trick of championships for PDRM in Malaysia’s most prestigious rugby tournament. The triumph was nothing short of dramatic. Under head coach Dinesvaran Krishnan , Sang Saka Biru fought until the final moments of the match to break Johor’s hearts.
