What chance have Korea got in the Asia 5 Nations?

Well, as usual, it is difficult to read what is going on in Korean rugby! Regimes change at a rate of about one a year...which can't be good for the players or the prospects for the game here...

However, some positive signs are around; the signing of overseas players by some clubs has been rumoured, and Korean players signed for clubs overseas....that should raise playing standards here.

In the meantime, Japan should be set for an easy win in the HSBC sponsored Asia 5 Nations....except, I have heard that Japan may be otherwise occupied at that time with other internationals...which means they could be fielding B squads....

Who does that open the way for? We'll learn a lot on April 26 when we see if the Korean side has fallen further behind Japan....a HUGE crowd is expected at Oryu-dong for that game....
