The Survivors sent a lot of players to the ITS this weekend, to play a format of rugby some of the guys are fairly unfamiliar with - Touch Rugby. The event was a good chance for the boys to have a run around, practice some ball skills, and network a little with other rugby players from around Korea and Asia. Most of the local teams could be seen sporting a few Survivors players, with some of our guys playing in both the men's and mixed divisions.

At the business end of things; the Survivors' 1st team put in a good showing to make it to the semi-finals of the men's division. They were leading Hong Kong Thunder (the eventual winners) with 5 minutes to go, before Thunder managd to pull off a couple of tricks to snatch the win. The Survivors' Colts team also had a good run. They lost all their pool games, but showed some good skills, and scored a few good tries. In the mixed division, Survivors' Nathan Atkins led 'Tits for Hands' to victory, beating NUS from Singapore in the finals.
Overall, the day was a great success. Great weather, and soft grass pitches, gave the boys a chance for a good work-out as they build up towards the fall Yellow Sea Cup and Oakwood Cup fixtures.
