Ooooff! Korea juniors stuffed by Uruguay

Sounds like a lack of experience did for Korea's kids in Chile as they crashed heavily to Uruguay. Spilling posession too often meant they coughed up opportunities for one of the tournament's hopefuls who duly obliged in an eleven tries to one festival of rugby.

This is where hooking up Korea's schools with overseas competition makes a lot of sense, it lets them know what they may face when they enter "the real world". Last year, Pai Chai travelled to Japan and turned over Waseda, that was a good start. This needs building on; a repeat of Eton's trip here in 2004 or King Edwards a little earlier or the possibility of Korean schools going overseas would help a lot. UK schools would be happy to host if sponsorship could be found and the late August pre-season slot would be perfect timing for everyone.
