Seoul Survivors vs Shanghai Hairy Crabs

Written by Survivors Admin.

Team Shot

This was a tour of numbers.

There were four airports involved, a large part of our touring party (nine) only saw three of them – a total of six times.

The Crabs have a playing roster of 75-80 players. They needed trial games of Possibles v Probables to choose the best side of twenty-two to stand up before the Seoul Survivors' travelling pack of seventeen (from all over South Korea, China and game day pick-up). The Survivors put out the call for those eligible for a China visa and able to travel. We initially had eleven. A second call brought the coach and photographer out of retirement and our number grew to sixteen.

Game On.

In the Western world moustaches and fundraising go together like kimchi and rice, and this past November the club set a record, raising over 4 million won for charity.

Written by Nick Goodman.

The Survivors travelled to Daegu missing a number of key backs, but were determined to make amends for a dismal first up effort in the K.E.R.A 10’s League. After disembarking from a four hour train ride the team found conditions in Daegu to be exactly as they had been in Seoul – cold, wet and gray.
