Massive rugby match at Korea's Olympic Stadium 20th June

Thanks Casey Lee of CORK for this info...it is a match I attended a couple of years ago and what an occasion...thousands of kids singing school songs, waving flags, cheerleaders etc and some great rugby on the pitch.
The match is between Pai Chai and Yang Chung High School.
There are leading 2 private high schools in Korea, more than 100 year of history,
The Navy Blue (PC) meets The Orange Eagles(YC), annual game as ;
on 2009 6 20 Sat.
at Jamsil Olympic Stadium
( Metro Line 2, 종합운동장 -, Sports Complex. exit 6&7)
at 1130 over 40's
at 1230 middle schools
at 1330 High schools Young Boys
at 1530 main game OB All Stars.

A year or so ago, Dow Corning organised the visit of Pai Chai HS to Japan to play Waseda HS...the Pai Chai boys won the match (and their old boys reportedly won the drinking afterwards)...so you can be sure that teh standard of play at Pai Chai will be very good. Meanwhile, YangJung have some very big players (100+kg) and looked very strong versus Seoul Colts last week.....expect a cracking match!
