Read all about their trip here http://www.rugbyinasia.com/philippines/321-19/national-trials but the topic is also poignant for Korean rugby since it would make a lot of sense for the KRU to invite in more overseas to encourage the development of local players. Too much introversion means that Korean clubs and players learn little....they are only ever playing each other and so have small incremental development. Perhaps now is the time to allow the Survivors to enter the club competition. Survivors recently played one of the "Big Five" rugby clubs in Korea, Daisin and fared pretty well...leading even at half time. They also play regular games against the Korea Uni side. Being part of a bigger comp would allow a little more ambition into the game and with the three year residency rule applying everywhere, several Survivors players are actually qualified to play for Korea....
Bears thinking about!!
