In a classic game of two halves, Japan came out firing on all cylinders in the second stanza, paced by a remarkable four more tries by winger Kosuke Endo in the second half, doubling his career try total up to that point.
Korea managed a try by Chae Jae Young — who plays his rugby in Japan with Toshiba — and a conversion and penalty by Oh Youn Hyung, but the fact that the last Korean penalty came in the closing stages showed that they had run out of ideas.
But I will take it as a first game and tell the team to start from the second half. Korea will regroup over a much needed bye week with more intensive preparation that sees a first training session tomorrow Sunday. Next up for Korea is a much improved Arabian Gulf in Dubai in two weeks before finishing with what promises to be a gangbuster versus Kazakhstan on May 22nd in Seoul. Frank and his team of A5N coaches also conducted a coach the coaches workshop for some of the leading schools and club coaches in Korea.
Next stage of the asia5n rugby for Korea which can be seen live and in person in Daegu or on TV Star Sports, see earlier postings. If you live around Gumi, hook up with Waegook Cook The schedule for the bus for Daegu is Pick the team up at Cook and take us to the field.

Derrick joining the bath session Pick up the spectators who want to go to Daegu but didn't watch our games Pick up the teams and spectators from the field and then go straight to Daegu.
Sunday, April 25, Korea rugby live on TV. Live rugby on TV again next weekend when Korea take on Japan at home. Once again Star Sports www. Our boys will need all the support they can get!! Live rugby on TV in Korea Saturday, April 24, Korea rugby fall at first hurdle. 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. 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 Live a5n Rugby on Star Sports- Saturday 5pm. Defending champions Japan are on a bye in week 1. 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. Trailing at half-time, Hong Kong looked well beaten but fought back to come within an inch of pulling off a miraculous victory before losing 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 lead in the first 17 minutes of play with outstanding No 8 Han Kun-kyu leading the charge with a brace of tries.
Our aim is to win this tournament. Kazakhstan opens its account against the Arabian Gulf on their return to the Top 5 as Division I champions in 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.
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. Commensurate with this excitement is the fact that the tournament is setting new records in its TV package. 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.
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 Tuesday, April 20, 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. 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 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. Sri Lanka will now be promoted to the elite Top 5 competition in Asian rugby starting in 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 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 in the 43rd minute. 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.
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. 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, 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. The Sri Lankans will have a year to prepare for this ultimate test of continental rugby as promotion will take effect in Korea and Kazakhstan v.
Arabian Gulf. The runners-up in the Top 5 competition will play an inter-continental repechage with the first test against Uruguay in July. The win not only sees Malaysia take 3rd place in the tournament but also ensures that they avoid relegation. That tournament features top seeds Thailand, China, India and Philippines.
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. An entertaining match that saw Singapore take an early lead into halftime but then concede two quick tries to Malaysia in the second half, had to be abandoned due to a lightning storm. 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!! The forecast is for a balmy 14 degrees celsius with clear skies overhead. So if you're sitting on the fence, get off it and head to our prime riverside location to watch some great expat rugby here in Korea.
Be that as it may, everyone in this team will be pushing for 1st team spots so you can expect to see a lot of quality rugby from players who have put their heart and soul into training for this match-up.
The hinge of the team is an all-Kiwi affair with new Survivor Steve Ko coming off the back and linking up with Jono O'Sullivan at halfback. Out wide, North American flair takes form in Philip Guerrero and Ib Zylstra who will look to put forward good performances and cement a spot in the As.
They will be backed up by silky Japanese import Hikaru Tamoto who comes in at fullback. The Knights are coming off the back of an impressive win over the Jeonnam Aliens so let's get down and support expat rugby in Korea. It is still so possible. Hong Kong going for wickets too. But needs to accelerate. Nepal on 50 for 5 after 13 overs. Need 66 off 42 at just under 9. The Ahmed's strike. Sharad goes fpor the big one and Irfan catches Sharad head high ar long on.
Would have been a 6 if he wasn't there or was a dwarf But he's 6 foot 3 Nadeem knows he got away with that one, and Hong Kong can feel they're running away with the match. Still, we have seen some extraordinary innings in international cricket recently with games all but lost, this game is no less international and these two sides are no less evenly matched.
Nepal need 66 off the last 6 overs Basant Regmi's in and he's pulled things out of the fire for Nepal many a time. Can he do it again? Possibly, he iust hits the biggest six of the tournament sofar off Najeeb Amar, the ball bouncing off the seats and with 5 overs to go, Nepal are exactly halfway to their target.
It's almost two runs a ball from now on. Two in the deep at long-on and midwicket for Basant everytime Four overs to go, Nepal need 52, four wickets in hand. Hong Kong haven't started smiling in any way at all yet. Much on Basant Regmi. Basant out for 15 off 17 Nepal 68 for 7 in the 17th, looking for a miracle or at least fireworks from Binod Das the new batsman He starts with a boundary and with three overs to go, Nepal are on 72, 44 wanted.
Maldives cricketers are in the house - watching their opponents in this group. Sri Lanka wrre watching earlier The winner of this group HK, Mald, Nep plays Afghanistan on Wednesday for a semi-final spot Irfan can laugh now, even though catches are being dropped off his bowling.
Waqas stumps Binod Das by one that turned to off, Nepal 76 for 8 in the 18th. And Godiva Li has been spotted in the audience. Great player for Hong Kong women who was on this turf last week with her team Irfan Ahmed in any light's hard to play, in this gloaming, he must be close to unplayable.
He's through the batsmen every delivery but he's also wide of the stumps. Last over, Nepal need Something incredible happened in the Hong Kong SIxes two weeks ago but Najeeb Amar to bowl No, it's not. Just one run from his first three Last ball's a wicket and Hong Kong have won by Nepal one partnership and quite a few boundaries short of their opponents.
