Global Results - 18 April
It was a big day for Sri Lankan rugby when they beat Singapore to climb into the top league of Asian rugby, the league which Japan usually win. It was a strange day in Switzerland when a match was postponed because of a volcanic eruption in Iceland. And there was a strange score in Wales when Neath won.
