It was a crucial match that would decide the standings of both teams in the competition. Both teams played defensively from the start of the game. There were several breakthroughs by TP and a few close encounters near the try line, but RP managed to stop any tries. TP’s defence did not falter either and with escalated efforts to maintain their line, the game ended in a tie.

Final score: 0-0

Overall Results:

1st   – Temasek Poly
2nd  – Republic Poly
3rd   – Singapore Poly
