Hong Kong women's rugby sevens coach hails Thailand rivalry ahead of Asian Games

Hong Kong women's rugby sevens head coach Andy Vilk says his team are benefiting from their rivalry with Thailand ahead of this year's Asian Games. The team failed to win at their home Sevens tournament for the first time in three years, drawing with eventual champions Denmark and losing to Thailand, but Vilk emphasized the importance of the rivalry that saw Hong Kong beat Thailand 7-5 to win bronze at the previous Asian Games in Hangzhou.

South Africa Claims First Hong Kong Sevens Title With Dominant 35-7 Victory Over Argentina

South Africa defeated Argentina 35-7 at Kai Tak Stadium on Sunday to win their first Hong Kong Sevens title, ending 29 years of hurt since first competing in the tournament in 1997. The Blitzboks led from the ninth minute when Ryan Oosthuizen scored and added 16 points in the final five minutes to complete a dominant victory and secure a fourth straight tournament success.

Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens: Jorja Miller to the four as New Zealand keep record intact

There was no stopping the New Zealand women’s team at the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens as they dominated and beat Australia to keep their record in Hong Kong intact on Sunday. A 19-14 win at Kai Tak Stadium handed the Black Ferns their fourth Sevens title in the city in as many years, with star player Jorja Miller an integral part of that record. “It’s an amazing accomplishment by our team. To come out here and do it four years in a row is pretty amazing,” she said. “We love playing in an...

Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens: city’s men get one back on Japan to win third Melrose Claymores

Hong Kong’s men’s team lived up to their own vow to exact revenge over Japan at the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens with a 19-15 win over their arch-rivals at Kai Tak Stadium on Sunday. The thrilling win, just one day after their seven-point loss in the round-robin stage on Saturday, handed the city’s men their third Melrose Claymores trophy in as many years. And after doing so despite being shown a yellow card in each half, co-captain James Christie heaped praise on the team effort. “We gave them...

World Rugby boss Robinson hails Hong Kong’s ‘global influence’ at WXV announcement

Hong Kong will host another significant rugby tournament this year, with the game’s global governing body awarding the city the WXV Challenger in September. The two-week tournament, featuring some of the best women’s teams in the world, including Hong Kong, is expected to be held at Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground. Announcing the decision on Sunday on the sidelines of the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens, World Rugby chairman Brett Robinson called the WXV a “very, very important competition” for his...

Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens: Blitzboks win first title, Black Ferns go unbeaten again

It’s finals day in Hong Kong, and both of last year’s champions are still in with a shot of successfully defending their titles. For New Zealand, Canada stand in their way of yet another final appearance in the city, while Argentina’s men need to get past Spain. On the other side of the women’s draw, Australia have been steamrollering all before them, although France should provide tougher opposition than others. In the men’s, South Africa are somehow still alive, but now New Zealand are between...

Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens: Canada ready for ultimate test against big guns New Zealand

Canadian duo Olivia Apps and Florence Symonds said they were ready to take on the heavyweights at the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens after reaching the semi-finals on Saturday. A 19-7 win over the United States sent the Paris Olympic silver medallists to the last four for only the second time this season. They previously reached the final stages of a Sunday in Singapore in February. Charity Williams scored twice – the opening and closing tries – for Canada. Ariana Ramsey gave the USA some hope...

Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens: record single-day crowd party to gripping men’s quarter-finals

A record crowd packed into Kai Tak Stadium on Saturday, drawn by the prospect of some thrilling Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens action on the pitch and a chance to party like it was 1999 off it. The 41,457 fans who passed through the gates made up the biggest single-day attendance figure for a Sevens in the city, and organisers expect the three-day total to set a new high as well. Those that made the trip watched the men’s and women’s defending champions, Argentina and New Zealand, reach the...

Hong Kong eye revenge after Japan shock partisan Kai Tak Stadium crowd

Revenge was the word on the lips of the Hong Kong players after they paid the price for an untidy performance in their 14-7 loss to Japan at a partisan Kai Tak Stadium on Saturday. Unless China inflict a fairly heavy beating on Japan early on day three of the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens, these two teams are poised for a speedy rematch in Sunday afternoon’s Melrose Claymores final. And the prospect of a quick-fire second shot at their arch-rivals swiftly erased the stench of defeat for the city...

Haruka Uematsu said she felt as though she was in a dream standing on the pitch at Kai Tak Stadium after being called on in a 24-12 loss to Thailand during the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens on Saturday. There was double delight for debutant Uematsu, who scored late on in front of a raucous South Stand in her side’s Melrose Claymores defeat. “The moment I was called upon, I knew I had to clear my mind so that I could stay focused and listen only to my teammates’ voices in a very noisy stadium,”...

In some ways, Saturday at the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens is like hump day, the bit to be successfully navigated so you can get to the fun stuff - at least it is for the players. Pool matches this morning give way to quarter-finals this evening, and for those who make it through, the promise of better days tomorrow. That’s not the case in stands, where the second day of the city’s iconic sporting event is universally known among supporters as fancy dress day, party day and the day when the...

Australia star acknowledges players’ careers on line at Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens

Aden Ekanayake acknowledged careers were on the line at the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens, but challenged his Australia team “to stay on the winning train” and dispel any relegation fears. The bottom four finishers in the three-leg HSBC SVNS World Championship, which is beginning with the Hong Kong tournament, will be condemned to impoverished second-tier rugby next season. But the towering 21-year-old figure of Ekanayake said his team, who finished third in the regular season standings, should...

Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens: hosts aiming to ‘put down Asian Games marker’ against Japan

Rory Stewart-Cox said Hong Kong would aim to “lay down a marker” when they meet Asian Games hosts Japan at Kai Tak Stadium on Saturday. Earning his third cap, Stewart-Cox scored the pick of Hong Kong’s six tries on Friday as the city team began their Melrose Claymores campaign with a 36-14 demolition of overmatched China. Evading four challenges as he sprinted half the length of the pitch, Stewart-Cox touched down to banish the frustration of an injury-hit past six months. “It’s been an...

Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens: Hong Kong coach sees ‘positive’ side of women’s close escape

Hong Kong head coach Andy Vilk said there were always positives to take away after the city’s women escaped with a draw against Denmark on Friday. Playing in the Melrose Claymores tournament at the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens, the reigning champions found themselves in a bit of a hole after the visitors jumped to a 14-0 lead through tries from Sofie Giessing and Mille Elmbak either side of half-time. Veteran Chong Ka-yan salvaged the day for the hosts with a pair of tries inside the final three...

Australia and New Zealand look highly likely to meet again in the women’s final at the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens on Sunday, after both teams made perfect starts to their world championship campaigns. However, while New Zealand dispatched Brazil 29-12 and Japan 38-7 at Kai Tak Stadium and should be untroubled by Fiji in their final pool match against Fiji on Saturday, the Australians have a tougher assignment ahead against Canada. Australia sit second in Pool B behind Canada despite thrashing...

Out of public view beneath Kai Tak Stadium’s South Stand, Germany’s players huddled around Pablo Feijoo and listened to the head coach tell them they should not be surprised by the speed and ferocity they had just encountered. Among those listening to the Spaniard address his squad in English following their 42-5 defeat by Fiji was Niklas Koch, the captain who combines trying to put rugby on the map in a football-crazy country with working as a policeman.

Cheers, music, and lights broke through the roof of the Kai Tak Stadium on Friday as fans old and new joined the opening day of the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens for the “best weekend of the year”. Following eight hours of action, 21 matches, and hundreds of points, the city’s Sports Minister Rosanna Law Shuk-pui and former Australian rugby player Michael Hooper performed the traditional “eye-dotting” ceremony for five dragons on the pitch at the start of a thumping opening ceremony. Accompanied...
