And Hong Kong run away 85 - 10 winners in Dubai against UAE.
Earlier in the afternoon, Qatar beat Lebanon to win the Div. IV tournament.

So I decided to accept the advice of liver and wallet, and watch the HK - Korea game on Star, rather than at the Football Club; so I'll postpone my flights indefinitely.  Its a shame, in a way, but I had hoped to catch the Queen Mother Cup and the BMW Mile the same weekend...

So here I am sat watching the replay of the HK v Korea game in eager anticipation.  Unlike the rest of you, I didn't watch it live yesterday, so fon't tell me the score for 80 minutes longer; thanks!

Looks like a good crowd at the football club; i'm embarrassed that there's an empty seat there with my name on it.
And, indeed, somewhere in HK an empty toilet bowl that was meant for my wallet...

Looks like a nice bit of weather as well; a bit of low cloud on the hills behind the stadium; let's sit back and enjoy   ...

"... and you can see some of the educated minds of the HK rugby fraternity adding their tuppence-worth... every ground has a spot like that, where the miscreants gather" as a young lady walks past with two jugs of beer...

[StreetCowboy]

And Korea force their way over near the posts and convert to take a two-point lead in the 79th minute
And Ross Armour kicks it down for a line-out ... can they steal the Korean throw?  Or will Korea move into second place in the Asian Five Nations...  The clock shows 80 minutes, as the Korean hooker prepares to throw
Korea knocks on and the HK has a scrum on the 22...  Anyone for a drop goal?
No it goes out to the far wing, Korea intercepts and 'the referee decides he's got a couple of seconds up his sleeve' and they play the line-out... McQueen knocks on, and that's it.
'What a great day for Korean rugby, relegated in 2010... and they've beaten the number two seeds 21 - 19... what an exciting game, what an advert for Asian rugby..."

SC

edit: and HK cling on to second place, thanks to bonus points from each game, but Korea has a game in hand...

Are you all sitting comfortably (well, standing now for the anthems) for the Korea - Japan game.

Japan yet to lose a match (or even drop a bonus point)  since the inauguration of the Asian Five Nations in 2008... Korea coming from a tense and exciting win over Hong Kong last weekend

Live on Eurosports and Star Sports

Tops!

And no surprises as Japan add another five points to their total. 19 games, 19 wins, 19 bonus points, winning 52 - 8 against Korea in Seoul.

Next weekend, Hong Kong travel to Tokyo to take their turn at trying to trip up the Japanese juggernaught.

Elsewhere, UAE held on to leave Khazakhstan staring at relegation, unless they can beat Korea next weekend.

And Warrington beat Khazakhstan 55-0 to seal third place so it ends Japan - Korea - Hong Kong - UAE - Khazakhstan, who go down to Division 1, while Philippines take their place in the top flight nest year.

Division Two Finals at the Royal Selangor Club in KL next weekend - I'm sure you'll all be there cheering for Thailand
Who will go up to Division I to replace Singapore - the first team from the the top flight to sink to Division 2 for 2013?  Who will keep alive their 2015 World Cup dream?

should of course read "Hong Kong beat Khazakhstan 55-0" - it was the similiarity of the scores, and the fact that I was catching up on the results while watching the Magic Weekend from Manchester...  Anyway, my apologies to anyone who has been roaming in perplexion since the small hours of the morning.
