[QUOTE="bakakumon, post: 640206, member: 71185"] In Colombo, poor handling left Hong Kong ruing a number of missed opportunities leaving head coach Leigh Jones frustrated as he contemplates next week’s weighty challenge of taking on South Korea at home. "Our set piece won’t win us the game next week. It has got us out of trouble for the past two weeks but we need to raise our performance levels in a number of areas,†Jones warned. “Sri Lanka won the battle of the contact area and stopped us playing. All credit to them,†Jones said. “Sri Lanka won the second half because they won the breakdown.†The home team suffered a blow even before kick-off after its bid to field three Fijians came unstuck after team management failed to provide all the documentation needed to prove the players qualified under the IRB’s grandparent ruling. “It doesn’t mean they are not eligible, it is just that they did not have all the paperwork in order. If they can get that right, they can make an official request for eligibility for the rest of Sri Lanka’s matches,†said an Asian Rugby Football Union spokesman. [/QUOTE]
