The Sri Lanka Rugby Football Union is back in the international rugby scene after the International Rugby Body (IRB) reinstated full membership, the Sri Lanka Rugby Football Union  said.

The International Rugby Board earlier stripped the Sri Lanka's rugby union of full member status after it failed to conduct board elections in accordance with IRB bye laws.

The decision followed concerns regarding the governance and management of the Sri Lanka Rugby Football Union (SLRFU) after it missed a Jan. 31 deadline for elections in line with its constitution, the IRB said in a statement. (Daily Mirror online)
