Hong Kong Sevens has lift-off
The Hong Kong Rugby Football Union (HKRFU) has confirmed the 28 participating international teams that will take part in the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens from March 22-24.
For the first time in the 38-year history of the Hong Kong Sevens 28 teams have been hosted, up from the 24-team format which was first adopted in 1984.
The 2013 Hong Kong Sevens will again host two side-by-side competitions, a 16-team HSBC Sevens World Series (HSBC SWS) competition for the 15 core teams on the series plus Hong Kong, winners of the HSBC Asian Sevens Series in 2012; and a 12-team pre-qualification tournament for promotion to HSBC SWS core team status in 2014.
The 16 teams participating in the core competition are Argentina, Australia, Canada, England, Fiji, France, Kenya, New Zealand, Portugal, Samoa, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, United States, Wales and Hong Kong.
To better accommodate increasing local and international demand, the HKRFU is distributing tickets by public ballot for the 2013 tournament.
