Korea rugby fall at first hurdle

Korea rugby fall at first hurdle

Korea’s challenge for the Asia Five Nations and for a place in the 2011 Rugby World Cup is all over almost before it started. Having inexplicably selected a “young side to build for the future”, the Korean team started brightly and eased into an 8-0 lead, mainly by moving the ball wide.

They continued with this tactic for much of the first half and could have been 20 points ahead when just before the half time whistle, the free flowing play caught up with them as HK made most of the space from turnover ball and struck back. Until then, Korea had looked comfortable, with their big (but not tall) pack making heavy hits and clearing up well at the breakdown.

However, with the score coming just before half time and added to with a penalty by the HK fly half who had been kicking poorly up until then), Korea’s confidence seemed to drop and the second half was very disappointing. Hong Kong seemed the much stronger, a complete reversal of fortunes, and the open play suited them better. Quite simply, as soon as it opened up, Korea could not cope. Hong Kong emerged as winners with a final score line of 32-8.

Korea Rugby campaign kicks off in Asia 5 Nations

HSBC ASIAN FIVE NATIONS Top 5 COMPETITION KICKS OFF

Final stage of IRB Rugby World Cup 2011 begins in Hong Kong & Almaty

[Hong Kong, 23 April 2010]: Asia’s elite rugby competition, the 2010 HSBC Asian 5 Nations (HSBC A5N) Top 5 tournament will kick off tomorrow with matches between Hong Kong and South Korea (GMT +8.00) and Kazakhstan and Arabian Gulf (GMT +6.00). Defending champions Japan are on a bye in week 1.

The excitement is already building in Hong Kong where a pre-match press conference was held today with the coaches and captains of Hong Kong (Dai Rees and Simon Leung respectively) and South Korea (Kim Myoung Joo and flanker Kim Jeong Min respectively) at the Hong Kong Football Club. Mark McCombe, CEO Hong Kong of HSBC and Trevor Gregory, Vice President of the Asian Rugby Football Union were also in attendance.

After 22 Rugby World Cup qualification matches played since 2008, it comes down to the 10 matches of this year’s HSBC A5N Top 5 to determine Asia’s sole direct entry to Rugby World Cup 2011. The Top 5 winner will enter Pool A as Asia 1 alongside New Zealand, France, Tonga and Canada. The runners-up will go through a repêchage process that involves an initial Asia-Americas playoff match against Uruguay in July 2010. This match will be played in either Asia or Uruguay depending on which team has the higher IRB World Ranking at the time of qualification. Japan is the 13th ranked team in world rugby while Uruguay is ranked 21st. Korea, Kazakhstan and Hong Kong are 24th, 26th and 39th respectively.

The winner of the Asia-Americas match will enter a home and away series versus the winners of the Europe-Africa (Tunisia) playoff series. That winner will be the bottom seed in Pool B alongside Argentina, England, Scotland and Europe 2. Asia has been represented at every Rugby World Cup since 1987, with Japan being the only team so far to have qualified for the rugby world’s elite competition. The hunt for these two exclusive spots at rugby’s world championship kicks off tomorrow in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong will take inspiration from last year’s performance against Korea in Seoul. Trailing 31-3 at half-time, Hong Kong looked well beaten but fought back to come within an inch of pulling off a miraculous victory before losing 36-34. Hong Kong coach Dai Rees will use that tremendous feat to motivate his side in a game he has already labelled a “must-win”.

“This will be a massive game for us. We have to target this as a must-win game if we are to have any chances of finishing in the top two and keep alive our World Cup hopes,” Rees said.

“To be realistic, Japan is the outright favourites to win the championship and grab the Asian berth at the World Cup,” added Rees. “Our aim will be to finish second and make it through to the repêchage.”

But first-up will be the tough Koreans, a team which Hong Kong has beaten only twice in the last seven meetings. South Korea will field a mix of old and new players, and will be a formidable threat, especially if they are given a head start as was the case last year when they stormed to a 24-0 lead in the first 17 minutes of play with outstanding No 8 Han Kun-kyu leading the charge with a brace of tries.

Han is back again as is excellent second-row forward You Young-nam, who was named the best player in his position last year in Japan’s professional Top League - but there are many new faces in the 22-man squad.

“We have changed half the squad from last year,” said coach Kim Myoung Joo. “They might be new faces but I believe they have the potential to win any match and we are giving them the opportunity. Our aim is to win this tournament. Japan [Korea’s opponents in Daegu, Korea next weekend] will be difficult opponents but we will do our best.”

Korea will not be looking past Hong Kong after last year’s thriller, nor can they afford to overlook the challenge from Kazakhstan. After a stirring victory in last year’s A5N clash in Almaty where Kazakhstan beat Korea 30-27, the Nomads claimed second spot in Asian rugby for the first time in the 42-year history of the Asian Rugby Football Union.

Kazakhstan will be intent on resuming where they left off and have been spending the long winter nights in Almaty improving their strength and conditioning levels – a fact that will not set their competitor’s minds at ease as the Kazakhs are already one of the most physically impressive teams in Asian rugby. The Nomads return primarily the same side that was so successful in 2009 and are intent on capturing the repêchage spot behind the inspirational leadership of no. 8 Timur Mashurov who is fully fit after being plagued by knee injuries in recent seasons and towering flanker Anton “the horse” Rudoy. Full back Maxim Lifontov returns as well looking to add to his impressive points tally of the past few seasons (Lifontov was the tournament’s top points scorer in 2008).

Kazakhstan opens its account against the Arabian Gulf on their return to the Top 5 as Division I champions in 2009. The Arabian Gulf XV have completed an intensive training period with recent matches against Tunisia and the Kandy Sports Club from Sri Lanka, most of whose players made up the successful Sri Lanka XV that won last week’s Division I in Singapore to become the newest side to experience Top 5 rugby in 2011.

The game plan for the Arabian Gulf will be tested from the outset in Almaty as Kiwi coach Bruce Birtwhistle has targeted his forward pack as one of the strengths of Gulf rugby.

“Primarily our key players will be up front and defence is a key to our campaign. It is important that we meet teams head on in the set pieces and breakdowns to provide sufficient ball for our halfback pairing of Jonny MacDonald (born in the UAE and studying in Cardiff University) and former Wales schoolboy and Gloucester Academy player Duncan Murray.”

With this being the last hurrah for the Arabian Gulf Rugby Football Union before ceding to individual unions in 2011, Coach Birtwhistle is setting the team’s sights high.

“Qualification for the Rugby World Cup is our ultimate aim and all of our preparation is focused on achieving that goal, starting this weekend against Kazakhstan. It is a big ask but with a new squad and the confidence gained from last year’s Division I victory we feel it is a realistic aim.”

With all of the Top 5 teams eyeing Rugby World Cup qualification and the reigning champions Japan waiting in the wings the action over the next five weeks of Asian rugby pitches promises to be the most exciting in the short history of the HSBC A5N.

Commensurate with this excitement is the fact that the tournament is setting new records in its TV package. This year the Tournament will be seen in 90 territories worldwide with veteran rugby broadcasters STAR Sports, Eurosport Asia, J-Sports (Japan) and Sky Networks (New Zealand) all confirmed to take the Top 5 matches and one-hour series highlights in 2010. The HSBC A5N will also be reaching millions of new fans with Zee Sports India, Starhub Singapore and Al Jazeera (pan-Middle East) all live broadcasting Asian XVs rugby for the first time in 2010. The television package in place for the A5N in 2010 would not be possible without the commitment and support of HSBC, the title sponsor of the A5N.

Mark McCombe, CEO Hong Kong, HSBC, said, “HSBC aims to support different cultures and communities through its diverse rugby sponsorships across the world. HSBC Rugby invests in over 30 different countries from the very pinnacle of the elite game through to the development of emerging rugby countries through the A5N. Each of HSBC’s rugby sponsorships share one common aim of uniting people and cultures through the positive values of rugby union.”

As title sponsor of the A5N, HSBC is committed to the development of the game throughout Asia. HSBC is also a long-term sponsor of the Penguins International Rugby Club, which is represented by 30 nations and has provided coaching sessions to local communities in 62 countries. In partnership with Asian Rugby Football Union and the HSBC Penguins Coaching Academy, HSBC supported a series of rugby coaching clinics throughout Hong Kong in the lead up to the A5N tournament. The commitment to grassroots development will continue throughout the duration of the HSBC A5N with Youth Rugby Festivals reaching over thousands of youth in Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Dubai, Bahrain, Indonesia, India, Laos, Cambodia and Nepal in the next few months.

Led by former Scotland head coach Frank Hadden, the clinics will be supported by a team of HSBC Penguins and HSBC A5N coaches as well as team stars from several Asian nations. To date, the youth festivals have been held in Hong Kong, Dubai, Macau, Nepal and Singapore. This weekend, the HSBC A5N Youth Rugby Festival will see Frank Hadden and his coaching team engaging kids from Hong Kong’s Society for the Protection of Children as well as a mini rugby tournament involving six of Hong Kong’s 17 mini rugby clubs at U11 level.

Also today, HSBC held a special drop kick competition for eight student rugby players from the U16 Schools league with the winner winning a trip for the player and a parent enjoying a paid trip to Tokyo to watch the Japan v Hong Kong match on 22 May 2010.

Women's rugby in Korea.....

Seems like the women's rugby scene in Asia is getting stronger, at least amongst expat teams. Seoul Sisters and Shaghai are swapping visits next month as each stages topurnaments. More news on where and when and who will, hopefully, be posted soon!

Message from SS Killer Bs vs. Cheongju Knights

Subject: Thanks for your support.

Ladies and gents,

On behalf of the Seoul Survivors Rugby Football Club, I'd like to thank all the players from the SS Killer Bs and the Cheongju Knights, the supporters, the coaches and the ref. The sun didn't turn up as expected but the players certainly did providing a smorgasbord of rugby with some inventive attacking movements and bone-crunching defence.

The end score was 27-7 to the Killer Bs but more importantly we have solidified our links with another expatriate team ensuring more games and opportunities for all.

Thanks again for your valued support and we look forward to seeing more of you at our games and other events as the season progresses.

Regards,

The Survivors

New competition for Korea rugby in a5n; Sri Lanka!!

Sri Lanka is Asia’s newest Top 5 team after winning HSBC A5N DI Final
[Singapore, April 17 2010]: Sri Lanka has climbed close to the top of Asian rugby’s totem pole after beating Singapore 23-16 in a thrilling final of the HSBC Asian 5 Nations Division I tournament played. In the 3rd/4th place play-off, Malaysia achieved its primary objective by retaining its Division I status after winning the relegation match against a young Chinese Taipei XV, 35-3.
After being pushed to the limit against Malaysia in Wednesday’s Semi Final, the hosts and top seeds Singapore could not withstand a second charge from Sri Lanka. The visitors turned in a comprehensive performance in wet and humid conditions at Singapore’s Yio Chu Kang stadium to emerge as Division I champions for the first time in three years. Sri Lanka will now be promoted to the elite Top 5 competition in Asian rugby starting in 2011.
Singapore never looked entirely comfortable this evening, particularly in the back three as a wet ball and clever kicking from Sri Lanka helped keep the hosts on the back foot and negated the superior size of Singapore’s forward pack. Matters turned for the worse for Singapore in the 20th minute as inspirational captain Matt “Rhino” Ryan limped off with an injury further depleting the team of leadership after their first choice captain Jonathon Lee was sidelined in a trial match in Darwin two weeks ago.
From the earliest moments of the match, Sri Lanka’s kicking strategy and ability to involve its speed and superior handling out wide had the Singaporeans under pressure. The home side still managed to get out to a 6-nil lead behind Tom Burns who had another strong match from the stand-off spot. Burns nailed two penalties in the first quarter to stake his side to an early lead as they capitalized on some crucial errors from the Sri Lankans. Among those committing the errors was eventual man of the match scrumhalf Roshan Weeraratne who was sin-binned in just the sixth minute.
Burns calmly converted that penalty and made full use of the man advantage for ten minutes to score 6 early points on the way to a 12-point day from four penalties. Sri Lanka replied in the 19th minute with a successful penalty from fullback Saliya Kumara before Roshan Weeraratne made amends for his sin-binning by knocking over a crucial drop goal (the only one of the tournament) to level the sides at 6-all.
Sri Lanka struck first after the halftime interval with a second penalty from Kumara edging them ahead 9-6 in the 43rd minute. Five minutes later, Weeraratne again popped up, this time finishing off a great roving forward movement to touch down in the corner for the first try of the game, pushing Sri Lanka ahead 16-6 after Kumara’s conversion.
Full credit to Singapore, as the team finally started to find its feet in the second half exerting periods of pressure and enjoying sustained possession for the first time. The reward was a beautiful break away movement by Singapore’s backs which was capped off by winger Desmond Wee who took the ball with work left to be done and managed to tiptoe down the sideline for the home team’s only try of the day and most importantly to get back to within striking distance at 13-16.
Sri Lanka seemed on the verge of fading as it conceded another penalty this time from 40m which was beautifully converted by Burns despite the baying of a very strong and loud contingent of Sri Lankan fans in the stadium. At 16-all with 20 minutes on the clock the action seemed a reprise of Singapore’s earlier match against the Malaysians where Singapore found just enough to keep their opposition out of the win column. But this time it was not to be for the Rugby Lions as the Sri Lankans simply refused to lose.
The two teams traded possession for the final moments as both sets of partisan fans in the crowd of nearly 2,000 ratcheted up the volume and fervour on the sidelines. With overtime looming rapidly on the horizon, the Sri Lankans broke through into scoring position after moving Singapore around the park with some cagey positional kicking. On the last play of regulation time, the Sri Lankans crashed through a tiring Singapore defence in a straightforward movement that saw centre Chamara Vithanage charge over in the corner for a try that broke the hearts of the home team.
Sri Lanka now becomes the 7th team to take part in the elite Top 5 competition since the inception of the HSBC A5N in 2008. The Sri Lankans will have a year to prepare for this ultimate test of continental rugby as promotion will take effect in 2011. The 2010 Top 5 features Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Hong Kong and the Arabian Gulf (who replaced Singapore as the promoted team from the 2009 Division I) and kicks off next weekend (April 24) with matches in Hong Kong (v. Korea) and Kazakhstan (v. Arabian Gulf). At stake in 2010 is Asia’s sole direct entry to the IRB Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand. The runners-up in the Top 5 competition will play an inter-continental repechage with the first test against Uruguay in July.
In today’s 3rd/4th place play-off, the Malaysians, who were narrowly defeated by Singapore 22-20 in the semi finals, achieved their ultimate objective beating Chinese Taipei 35-8. The win not only sees Malaysia take 3rd place in the tournament but also ensures that they avoid relegation. Chinese Taipei will be relegated to Division II in 2011 and replaced by the winners of the 2010 Division II championship in early June in New Delhi at the site of the Commonwealth Games sevens competition. That tournament features top seeds Thailand, China, India and Philippines.
After blooding 12 new caps in the squad of 24 in Wednesday’s semi-final against Sri Lanka, Chinese Taipei put in a much improved performance today, particularly defensively as they managed to hold Malaysia’s powerful backline to a respectable 35 points. Malaysia fielded seven IRB eligible Fijians in their squad today including the entire backline outside of the fly-half. The result was a brace of tries to winger Nacani Seniu and centre Timoci Nacokula as well as another from Isoa Turuva at fullback. Chinese Taipei answered through a penalty converted by fly half Lu Wei Fan and a try from flanker Chen Kuo Lun.
This afternoon also witnessed another A5N milestone in the first ever women’s test match played as a curtain-raiser to an A5N event with Singapore hosting their Malaysian counterparts. An entertaining match that saw Singapore take an early lead into halftime (5-0) but then concede two quick tries to Malaysia in the second half, had to be abandoned due to a lightning storm. Under the tournament’s abandonment procedure, the match score stands as it was in the second half, giving Malaysia a 10-5 win.
Earlier in the day, HSBC A5N coach and former Scotland coach Frank Hadden conducted a special clinic for children of local HSBC staff at the venue. It was the last activity in three days of HSBC A5N Youth Rugby Festivals held at Yio Chu Kang and the storied Padang rugby ground in Singapore’s Central Business District.
HSBC aims to bring positive social change to different cultures and communities through its diverse rugby sponsorships across the world. As title sponsor of the Asian 5 Nations (A5N), HSBC is committed to the development of the game throughout Asia. This year as part of the Asian 5 Nations, HSBC and the Asian Rugby Football Union are hosting a series of HSBC A5N Youth Rugby Festivals. The commitment to grassroots development will continue throughout the duration of the tournament with HSBC A5N Youth Rugby Festivals reaching over thousands of youth in Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Dubai, Bahrain, Indonesia, India, Laos, Cambodia and Nepal in the next few months.

Standard Chartered sponsorship of Korean rugby pays off

Standard Chartered started its sponsorship of Korean rugby about a year ago and the coverage they have received is impressive, certainly making this a very good investment for the sponsors and for the Korea Rugby Union. I hope the funds have been used wisely and with long lasting impact on the development of Korean Rugby. If so, then the KRU will likely find more sponsorship easier to obtain!!

Famous Korean Rugby Players

A former President of Korea, Roh Tae-woo


He was a captain of Korea Military Academy. If he tried hard enough for rugby to be included in Olympics, rugby could have become an Olympic sport in 1988. Despite the expectation of people involved in rugby in Korea, he completly neglected the sport during his tenure.

For more informantion about him:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roh_Tae-woo

Cho Byung-hwa, one of the most famous Korean poets

"I want to be remembered as a rugby player not a poet. I have lived my life like rugby and I will be living my life as a rugby player." "Rugby requires fierce determination, fair play, and creativity and if these things are reflected on your life, your life will be valuble and beautiful."

He also composed a couple of poem about rugby and one of them was his dream of Scotland tour with the Korean team- A Dream of Rugby.

(A section of his memorial hall is dedicated to his rugby collection)

Korea rugby blasts from the past

From the days when Korea was much more active, open and welcoming to foreign rugby visitors (and probably more confident of their capability too), a couple of stories; the above talks about a competition to celebrate 100 years of diplomatic ties between Britain and Korea and featured the Seoul Survivors amongst the teams....and the one below explains why....unlike today, most of the early Survivor impetus came from those hailing from Blighty, as opposed to today's antipodean eight-man shove....
