Hong Kong Sevens 50th anniversary

Pioneering coach Peter Duncan, who led the local team at the first edition in 1976, stated that Hong Kong rugby has reached a 'pinnacle' with this milestone.

The tournament featured gripping men's quarter-finals and a celebratory atmosphere that fans compared to the legendary parties of 1999.

While the home team suffered a narrow loss to Japan, the overall success of the event has solidified its status as a cornerstone of the global rugby calendar.

Organizers are now looking forward to the next 50 years of the iconic tournament.
