The
weekend started a little earlier in Hong Kong this week, as the popular
Hong Kong Rugby Sevens kicked off on Friday afternoon. For some an enjoyable
family outing, for others an excuse to dress up and party with a
sprinkling of fast paced and high quality sevens rugby as a bonus.
With
the four IRB Sevens World Series tournaments played to date having been
won by four different teams - South Africa in Dubai; New Zealand in
George, South Africa; Samoa in Wellington and Fiji in San Diego, the
Cathay Pacific/Credit Suisse Hong Kong Sevens 2007 finally concluded in
an unusual final of two halves. Samoa completely dominated Fiji in the
first 10 minutes of the final but in the second half Fiji decided it was
their turn. In the first half Samoa managed to put 27 points on the
board without reply from Fiji. In the second half however it was Samoa
who was unable to penetrate into Fiji's half of the field with Fiji
scoring 22 and almost winning the Cup itself.

This
weekend of sevens rugby and debauchery lived up to promises to be one of the most exciting
to date. The South Stand was announced full shortly after the
first games had kicked off, and the stadium experienced its busiest ever
Friday Sevens night with a crowd of 31,800, which is almost double the
attendance for a normal Friday night. The Hong Kong stadium can hold a
crowd of up to 40,000 and for the Hong Kong Sevens around half that
figure flies in from overseas giving the Hong Kong economy a massive
cash injection.
The weather
for the Sevens this year was pleasantly warm but not hot on Friday and
Saturday. On Sunday the sun came out to heat things up a little, and the
strain on some of the teams was obvious. The costumes in the
crowd are as
creative as ever, and massive quantities of Beer and Pimms were thoroughly
enjoyed by the crowd, life as normal at the Sevens!
