Ahead of tomorrow’s friendly match between the South China Tigers and the Hong Kong national team, friends and teammates Josh Dowsing and Alex Post are fine with a little lighthearted trash talking.
“On the field he carries very hard so I don’t like tackling him,” said Post, who plays hooker and will be lining up for Hong Kong. “I try to avoid him, or at least let someone else chop him and then I hit him after.”
Post, who plays for Herbert Smith Freehills HKU Sandy Bay, got the last word against Dowsing in the Premiership this season as they capped off a Cinderella run by beating Bloomberg HK Scottish, who Dowsing plays for, in the Grand Championship.

Dowsing, who hails from New Zealand and slots in at No. 8, becomes eligible to play for the national team in November. He said Post, who was born in Hong Kong, definitely talks the talk.
“Posty loves letting his little mouth run, he always chirps when he can.”

Post confirmed it is a “common” occurrence, with a smirk of course.
