The Philippine Rugby Football Union (PRFU) has released the list of players selected to take part in the training camp for the Asian 5 Nations 2014 tournament. National coaches Jarred Hodges and Stuart Woodhouse will trim the squad down at the end of the training camp, with the final team announced before each match. The Asian 5 Nations is the region's premier Rugby Union competition among the top five national rugby teams in Asia. On its first year in the top 5 in 2013, the Philippines defeated the United Arab Emirates at the Rizal Memorial Stadium to remain in the Premier Division for 2014. The Philippine Volcanoes will face Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Sri Lanka in a round-robin competition over five consecutive weekends throughout April and May 2014.
