This will enable them to remain in contention for a place in the semifinals of the six-nation tournament. The Koreans defeated China 5-3 to earn a total of four points from four outings so far. They are now placed third in the preliminary league standings, one point ahead of Pakistan, who have played one game less. The Chinese are level with Pakistan on three points from three matches.
