Korea rugby settles for bronze in Asian Games

The Korean men's team in the rugby at the Asian Games settled for bronze, beating China into 4th place and had to watch their arch-rivals Japan beat Hong Kong for gold. Meanwhile, Korea women's rugby lost all theirmatches, only scoring in the final game play off.
For the Korea mens rugby, this will be a disappointment, especially as their path through to the semi-final was disrupted when they lost to China....that must be a first...meaning they had to take on Japan in the semis...bad news.
In the women's tournament, the Korean team were novices and suffered some heavy defeats. Let's hope the experience does not put them off....great progress is still possible before the 2016 Olympics when rugby will feature for the first time.

Korea rugby at Asian Games 2010

If you plan to watch our girls and boys at the rugby in the Asian Games in Guangzhou, then they play on November 21/22/23 in the university town main stadium.
Korea's rugby men are in
Pool B KOR CHN SRI IND
And Korea rugby Women are in
Women’s Pool A CHN THA HKG UZB KOR
The men should be good at least for the semi-final and then expect to play either Japan or Hong Kong which will be tough.
For the women, it is really open....I hear Korea women's rugby team is really making good progress! So this should be a good test!

Touch Korea veterans reunite in England

Yes, they all got back together in sunny England in September....coming from the US, Denmark, China...countries from Aussie to Zimbabwe represented...and played a touch tournament in the rustic setting of Castle Cary Rugby Club in Somerset...
Touch is taking off in England competitively and socially so it was not surprising this even was picked up by England Touch in their Autumn Newsletter http://www.englandtouch.org.uk/
Good to see people keeping "in touch".
