Yes, and ranked higher in rugby than in football. They almost qualified for the WC finals in 2003. |

Yep, I bought the national jersey whilst on hols in Hongkong in 2004. Actually, I have been looking for an excuse to wear the thing, so I might get up there for it. BTW, Rugby is played in around 110 countries and after the football world cup, the RWC is the biggest single sporting event on earth. |

Damn, that'd be a find: can you post a pic JG?
The only rugby jersey I have with me is the one in my avatar. |

I'll dig it out of mothballs and get a better one later, but here is your's truelly modelling said piece of sporting attire in Hongkers whilst enjoying a refreshing glass of brain tonic.
You can pick them up in Stanley Markets for about 10 bucks US if you or a friend is ever passing through. |

China has no chance, should be fun |

Believe it or not, I don't know where Bundang is. But, I believe that the stadium is very close to Mokdong or Omokyo station on line 5. Get there and it will be signed.
EDIT: Sorry, that information is incorrect: see the later post from sojukettle -
