Han River Pirates Touch and Rugby for kids in Korea

Four previous Presidents of Han River Pirates were in Shanghai this weekend, the first, second, fourth and fifth....three made it out to the pub together....when it was founded in spring 2005, Han River Pirates was the first place that rugby and touch and tag could be played by foreign kids in Korea...from 9 kids aged 6-17 years on day one, the numbers have grown over the years....anyone with the latest news, please comment below...

Future of Korea Rugby in doubt?

Dreadful results from the Korean boys in Nanjing at the Asia Youth Games rugby....this does not bode well for the future of rugby in Korea. Once again, this is probably a product of a closed shop in Korean rugby; same old coaches, teams only play each other and they play nowhere near enough rugby.

Korea Rugby on TV

Yes! Rugby on TV in Korea! SBS ESPN and KBS have both shown rugby on TV in Korea this year....

Wow!

Congratulations Korea...I wish I had been there to see this one!! A big win for Korea rugby over close rivals Hong Kong...a spark of hope? Only eradication of politics at teh KRU can bring this to life http://www.asian5nations.com/node/813

Coming soon; Korea rugby in Asia Five Nations

Or Korea in teh Asia Five Nations rugby is on the Web

The home matches foir Korea are on May 11th (Philippines) and the big one May 18th at midday v Hong Kong and they are both at Ansan Stadium, Ansan City just south of Seoul...

My bet is that the lack of stamina shown in last year;s campaign will be a liability this year....
