Taking the Piss!! $5,288.50

Tickets for the Hong Kong Sevens at the new Kai Tak Stadium go on sale today and the HK Rugby Union have decided in their infinite wisdom, and outright greed, to add a ‘South Stand Upgrade’ price to the basic entry ticket.

The daily, yes daily, upgrade prices are $750 (Fri), $1,250 (Sat) and $1,250 (Sun) on top of the $1,950 ticket. Spending the weekend in the South Stand – without drinks or food- will cost $5,200!!!

Talking about ducking destroying part of what made the HK Sevens unique – hopefully, everyone will boycott the new ‘South Stand’ and there’ll be a big embarrassing empty stand exposing HK rugby’s greed to the world.

Never Forgotten: Bali 2002

They were not the brave who volunteered their lives. Or members of a distant generation. They were young men on a trip with their mates playing the game they love.

They could have been you.
They could have been me.
And WE could have been them.

Congratulations Hong Kong!

Hong Kong’s dream of qualifying for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 remains alive after a 22-0 victory over Kazakhstan in the Asia Rugby Women’s Championship saw the women qualify for the WXV 3 tournament later this year.

KowloonFest @ Kings Park – 4 April, 2024

One of the joys of Rugby Week is that it embraces and unites HongKongers without fear or favour of who you are, where you work or what colour your skin is.

A packed King’s Park saw players from across the globe and of every age play rugby, enjoy life, make new friends and enjoy an excellent bacon butty!

At the Kowloon Rugby Fest, there were winners, but no losers!

RWC 2023 Semi-Final: New Zealand 44 – 6 Argentina

After four amazing quarter-finals last weekend, the Rugby World Cup continued today with the first of the semi-finals at the Stade de France.

While it would have been too much to hope for that the semi might approach the heights of skill and attacking rugby of the quarters! The New Zealand All Blacks barely had to get out of second gear to trash Argentina – whose performances have been perhaps the biggest disappointment of the tournament.

Having started slowly, the All Blacks appear to be hitting top form as the final approaches. Who will they face, South Africa or England?
