Kazakh win pushes Korea into third place in a5n 2009 but a RWC 2011 still beckons

25-6 was a comfortable win for the home team in teeming rain....and now Korea will have to re-think and make improvements in time for next years campaign.
Given that it is unlikely for Korea to overtake Japan in next years a5n, then Korea must qualify through the repecharge. This calls for the loser from the Americas Play-off v Runner-up Asian 5 Nations 2010 - and will be hosted by the country with the highest IRB World Ranking at time both teams are known. The Americas first slot will be between USA and Canada, then the second slot between the loser of that match and whoever emerges top of Chile, Uruguay and Brazil....o Korea, if they finish second in the 2010 a5n has the best chance ever of qualifying for 2011....IT IS STILL ON!!!
