Miller, newly arrived in town to take up a job as an investment banker with CS First Boston, was introduced to national coach George Simpkin on Saturday.

Simpkin's first words were: 'I hope you will play again and I hope it will be for Kowloon.' And yesterday, Kowloon chairman David Mycroft was seeking to add Miller to his lineup, which next week will include Fijian back Moape Ravuvou.

Miller, 30, like so many other new players in town, is naturally drawn towards Hong Kong Football Club - the convenient club.

'I have not made a decision whether to start playing rugby, let alone for which club in Hong Kong,' he said.

'But even if I don't play rugby, I want to get involved in some way . . . maybe coaching or something.' The Australian's last game of rugby was way back in 1992, turning out for Randwick in the Sydney Premiership grand final.

An openside flanker, Miller has played alongside the illustrious Simon Poidevin at both club and state level.

Miller does not know much about Hong Kong rugby. But if he does decide to play rugby again and if his standard matches his pedigree, the territory might have found another potential candidate for senior honours.

Like Fijian Moape, Miller too has qualified to play at next year's Asian Rugby Football Tournament, which has an eligibility requirement of one year for Hong Kong. Any player arriving before Thursday qualifies.

Ed Cutting and Duane Davies will come up before the Hong Kong Rugby Football Union's disciplinary committee today after they were both sent off on Saturday.

Hong Kong Football Club White prop Cutting was sent off for allegedly kicking Valley Red's Isi Tu'ivai while Aberdeen's Davies got his marching orders for showing dissension at the referee after he had been sin-binned.
