SS Killer Bs vs. Cheongju Knights

Subject: SS Killer Bs Line-UpLadies and Gents,

We've got a smashing day of rugby ahead this Saturday. The forecast is for a balmy 14 degrees celsius with clear skies overhead. So if you're sitting on the fence, get off it and head to our prime riverside location to watch some great expat rugby here in Korea.

As most of you know the SS Killer Bs is the official Seoul Survivors Rugby Football Club second squad. Be that as it may, everyone in this team will be pushing for 1st team spots so you can expect to see a lot of quality rugby from players who have put their heart and soul into training for this match-up.

This will be your team for the day:

1 Alan Nuusila SAM
2 Beau Spencer USA
3 Jordan Smigelsky (c) CAN
4 Paul Mancktelow ENG
5 Taylor Whitmer USA
6 Kenneth Park USA
7 Manasa Tuilau FIJ
8 Steve Ko NZL
9 Jono O'Sullivan NZL
10 Nicholas Goodman NZL
11 Ibrahim Zylstra CAN
12 Mona Tumamao SAM
13 Ben Dover NZL
14 Philip Guerrero USA
15 Hikaru Tamoto JAP

16 Ken Wilson NZL
17 Matt Butler USA
18 Newton Thompson NZL
19 Jin Lee KOR
20 Steve Moriarty USA
21 Zac Worthen USA
22 Sly Kim KOR

Referee: Johan Meyer RSA

Coaches: Roddy Bancroft, Dan Grover, Jono O'Sullivan
Manager: Kurt Taogaga
Mascot: Aidan Bancroft

The side will be captained by Canadian stalwart Jordan Smigelsky who will be leading a hefty pack including man-mountain Alan Nuusila and newbie Taylor Whitmer against the Knights forwards.

The hinge of the team is an all-Kiwi affair with new Survivor Steve Ko coming off the back and linking up with Jono O'Sullivan at halfback. Player/coach O'Sullivan will be shovelling the ball to Nelson's very own Nick Goodman who holds the key to unlocking the Killer Bs powerful midfield.
Out wide, North American flair takes form in Philip Guerrero and Ib Zylstra who will look to put forward good performances and cement a spot in the As. They will be backed up by silky Japanese import Hikaru Tamoto who comes in at fullback.

The Knights are coming off the back of an impressive 17-10 win over the Jeonnam Aliens so let's get down and support expat rugby in Korea. See you at Fortress Jamwon!
