Dream of Sri Lanka to particitipate RWC 2007 has been collapzed by the hands of Hong Kong on last sunday by loosing 45 points to 14. Hong Kong back row unit of debutants Nigel Clarke and Semi Iafeta scores tries. The fact i reckon is our guys have done pretty good job though they were unable to score 20 points at least. The point that I'm trying tomake iz, The team of Hong Kong is not consist of Hong Kong Players. That team conzizt of proffesional players from all over da world it seems.
Their forwards are consizt of UK based players and the back row is dominating by New Zealand and some other southern pasific countries..Another thing that I feel is IRB is not realy wants to indicate that factor to rest of da world. that will clearly say if U see the following pic that i have taken from IRB. The Hong Kong Player in diz picture may be the only player from Hong Kong it seems. but diz is da only pic they have published on internet.
however just look @ the line up for the Hong Kong team againts SL on last Sunday.
he full squad is:
1 Peter Spizziri - HKFC
2 Tom Cameron - HKFC
3 James Wood - HKCC
4 Ben Tibbott - Kowloon
5 Kwok Ka Chun - DEA Tigers
6 Andy Yuen Kin Ho - Valley
7 Nigel Clarke - DEA Tigers
8 Semi Iafeta - Valley
9 Mark Wright - Loughborough Uni
10 Nigel D'Acre - HKFC
11 Andrew Chambers - HKFC
12 Brett Forsyth - Valley
13 Jason Going - Valley
14 Simon Smith - Kowloon
15 Paul Morehu - HKCC
Reserves:
16 Jon Abel - DEA Tigers
17 Leung Ming-hong - Kowloon
18 Ho Tsz Chun, Ben - DEA Tigers
19 Jarrad Brownlee - HKCC
20 Rob Naylor - HKFC
21 LIU Kwok-leung - DEA Tigers
22 Ricky Chuek Ming Yin - HKFC
We canot put da blame on anyone because of diz defeat. IRB has already gave the authorization to insert 2 foregin players who stays more dan 2 years in SL. But ministery of sports has not authorised to get Jim Bolokoro in to da team on last 14th.
..
However Sri Lanka has missed a golden opportuinity because of some dogmatic people. if we were unable to utilize the techniques which use by other nations, we may loose to countrys such as india, Pakistan.
