Asian Five Nations Cup Opening Game (vs Japan)

Wheelchair Rugby in Korea?

Looks like even the "on wheels" version of rugby is starting up in Korea http://www.cauon.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=12010
Park, Sung-jin wrote this article on a Korean named Yoon, Se-wan who is making things happen in the sport and Korea even has a Wheelchair Rugby Association who competed in last years Oceana Championships...
Maybe they can give us some more detailed news?

Seoul Globetrotters in HK

Highly tuned athletes?

Looks like no way out here!

Touch, Touch, Touch!

Seoul Globetrotters reach semifinal in Hong Kong's Intercities Touch Tournament

A score by tournament runners-up Dragons in the last thirty seconds of the semi-final put out Seoul's heroes. Up until then, despite an early loss against the HK development squad, things had gone swimmingly for the side selected from and sponsored by the Spire Seoul Touch Championship.

The quality of the opposition was quite mixed so it was difficult to judge Seoul's progress since last year. However, our presence once again at one of the big international tournaments will encourage more teams from overseas to our International Touch Seoul tournament on 20th September this year.

Korea Rugby competes well at Incheon

Despite finishing the first half 29 points to nil behind a strong Japan team, Korea clawed their way back and "won" the second half, the final score being 17-39. Per a previous posting, this can be considered a real victory and the Korean players now plying their trade in Japan had a big hand in that! Japan was boosted by players who qualify under the residency rule, especially in key poisitions in the backs.

The match has been covered by ESPN and Star Sports and should shown next week (maybe Tuesday) and in the meantime, expect more coverage in this blog before then...
In the meantime, here are some comments elsewhere.. http://uk.reuters.com/article/rugbyNews/idUKHKG34448920080426
