If recent form of Korea's national team is anything to go by and England Counties stay true to form, this should be a cracker in June...
The England Counties side was launched in 2002 to give amateur and semi-professional players from outside the Zurich Premiership the opportunity to play international rugby.
The Counties toured Chile that year, winning all three games and beating the Chilean national side 33-21 in Santiago. Chile currently rank 24 in the world, just behind Korea at 22.
The next year's European tour saw them beat Romania A 26-24 before defeats against Romania's test team (45-23) (Romania are currently ranked 17 in the world) and France Amateurs (26-24). The French won the second meeting between the sides 27-18 at Henley in December.
This would suggest that the match will be a fantastic contest if Korea field close to their national team.
