Hong Kong Sevens

Wikipedia

 
The Hong Kong Sevens is generally considered the premier tournament on the World Sevens Series in Rugby Union. It is held annually in Hong Kong, around Easter.

For 2005 only, the Hong Kong Sevens was folded into the International Rugby Board|IRB Rugby World Cup Sevens; Hong Kong hosted the Sevens World Cup that March.

Established in 1976, it originally was contested by teams in the Asian-Pacific region. Since the late 1980s the tournament has featured 24 teams from all over the world.

One of the enduring traditions in the tournament is the ritualistic booing of the Australia|Australian team. During the event, the South Stands of Hong Kong Stadium are famous for the chanting crowds in colorful costumes.
