Korea "notoriously closed when it comes to rugby"

That's the view from Japan on the eve of today's match between the two nations. And it would be hard to disagree with the diagnosis or with the conclusion that it is this closure to the outside world that is limiting development of the sport on the peninsula. Japan, in contrast, have embraced the outside world and have gone from strength to strength, yet just 10 years ago it was hard to seperate the two. Now, what will be the points difference? Anything below 50 would be considered a victory for Korea. Long gone are the days when victory itself would be the goal. For more from Japan http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/sports/20080425TDY27301.htm

Having said that "Go Korea" today!!!!
