Ha Ha! Why on earth would you want to associate yourself with such nonsense? For the final word on these matters check out the thread "Kiwis Behaving Badly" in this forum but basically "rugby" is a minor English public schoolboys game of absolutely no significance...though there was a Welsh exponent by the name of Barry John who briefly took it to exalted heights back in the late 1960's and early 1970's... he was also a good footballer too...(by footballer I mean REAL football ) There's also some other game called "rugby league"... you'll have to ask the Aussies on this form about that as no one else plays or understands it!

But oddly enough, it's played by far more countries than grid iron ...

For crying out loud, the poor lad just wants to know where he can play a game of rugby. Nowhere did he ask for the opinion of some taffy c#nt.

You could start your own team. Korea fields a pretty good team, so it's not as though you would be into something unknown. The military academies here use rugby as the inter collegiate game, and I also heard that Yonsei usually wins the championship in it's league.

Meant no offense. But if the OP is who I think he is, then I look tiny by comparison.

P.S. Jag I'm English, not a "taff" but even I have to recognize Barry John as being one of the greatest sportsmen/athletes of the 20th century - simply sublime...

Football is the main thing down here, namely the SSFL side the Cheongju Tigers. Some mates of mine play basketball on a very adhoc basis, dunno if you would be interested in that. Other than that, there is talk of softball games in the summer, watch this space. If it's fitness you are after, I would suggest doing the hike up to Sangdang fortress on the weekends, that'll whip your puku into shape, quick smart.
