Suwon Stormers
I started playing rugby. I’ve never played before, but I like it. It’s a good game. In January, I joined the local foreign soccer team. That lasted one game because I hate soccer. Rugby is much better. In April, a few foreign teachers put together a rugby team in Suwon. There are a few teams in Seoul and other cities, but there wasn’t one here before. I guess it’s a pretty popular game outside North America.
We played in a tournament in Seoul in May. We lost the first game badly to a team of huge Australian guys. It didn’t help that we didn’t know the house rules ahead of time. It also wouldn’t have made any difference. But we improved a bit after that. On the day we ended up 1-2-1. Here are a couple pictures from our game against a team of French high school students. We are in the black uniforms.
The second tournament is coming up next weekend. Hopefully we’ll do better this time around.
