Rugby Match: Kazakhs at home to Koreans

02.05.2009
Kazakhstan v Korea in Almaty (Asia5Nations)


Preview
Kazakhstan began the 2009 Asia5Nations with a big loss to Japan. Another tests awaits them when Korea, fresh from a 65-0 win over Singapore last weekend, arrives in Almaty. Last year the Koreans won 40-21 in Seoul but I would expect a much closer result on Saturday.


Previous Encounters

GWC Rugby Rankings: Asia Table-Korea 2nd, Kazakhstan 4th


Prediction: Korea by 9 points

  1. Well what an upset. I predicted Korea by 9 points. According to the match report on Asia 5 Nations web site all points scored by Kazakhstan's 2 top players-Rudoy 3 tries and Lifantov 3c and 3pg.
