The first game of the Yellow Sea Cup (YSC) for the Survivors was held in Shanghai this weekend (23 May, 2009) against the Shanghai Hairy Crabs. A very close game ended 10-8 to the Hairy Crabs. All the scoring was done in the first half, with the Survivors pressuring the Crabs' line for the whole of the second half without being able to score.

The first of many Spire Touch Tournaments kicked off on Saturday 21st March at the Jamwon rugby pitch on the banks of the glorious Han River. The Survivors, as always, sent a squad to represent us against 11 other teams of varying quality: ranging from our arch-rivals and the always challenging Double Dutch Rudders (formerly Te Wai Pounamu) to completely beginner squads such as the Seoul Gaels who are looking to muscle in on the touch rugby fields from their traditional sport of Gaelic football. The Survivors were light on experience but bustling with enthusiasm. Lead capably by Tim and Roddy, the boys went down to the Double Dutch Rudders 5-0 and received a good lesson in support play and quick play the balls. Next up saw some victories against the Ulsan Uglies, Seoul Gaels, Suwon Stormers and the Seoul Sisters. The pool games were probably a bit more laboured than they needed to be but they ensured that we reached the business end of the tournament without too much trouble. |

The great North South debate was finally answered on Saturday when, instead of playing a game against Korea University, the Survivors played themselves. We split the team into Northern vs. Southern hemisphere and had 3 games of rugby 10s.

For those that don't know, the Survivors headed west on Sunday to the port city of Incheon to take on the Incheon Technical Mechanical High School Old Boys Club. A genuine mouthful, it would've been nice if they had as many players as they had names in their team. The pitch was artificial but still pretty lush and a dream to run on as far as turf goes in this country. Unfortunately, the ITMHSOBC were lacking a few players so we loaned them some to bolster their numbers. We played 30 minute halves at their request and despite their lack of numbers and size, the Old Boys put up a spirited defence and were quite enterprising on attack. Pre-match, the Kiwis in the team put in a stirring rendition of Ka Mate to the delight of all the Koreans in attendance. |
