Cambridge University Tour in Seoul 1986


I am very happy to find a valuable picture of the Cambridge Univesity tour to Korea in 1986.
Surprisingly, the final result was 15-15 "even though" the referee was from England :)

You can see how strong Sangmu team(Korean Army team) was...
Two members of Sangmu went to Japan for rugby and three members became the head coaches of Yonsei Univ, Kyunghee Univ, and Samsung respectively. One touch judge (left) is a former head coach of Korea Uni and the other is the head coach of the Korean National team while the head coach of Sangmu became a head coach of the Korean National team later winning 4 gold medals at the Asian Games.
I said in another post that we need more interactions with overseas teams and I hope such the interactions can bring aspiration for young rugby players in Korea.
Dreams are coming true!
