Hong Kong Sevens 2010: Tournaments
What better way to get the rugby juices flowing than to catch some live action leading up to the Rugby Sevens?
GFI Tens
Twenty-five years ago, on the centenary of the Hong Kong Football Club, the rugby division started the Hong Kong Tens to kick off Sevens weekend. Since then the tournament has become the premiere event of its kind in Asia, with some of rugby’s biggest names taking part. To celebrate the 25th anniversary this year, the Tens is throwing open the gates to let everyone in free on day one.

Sixteen teams contest this tournament, which organiser Kevin McBarron describes as a “lighter alternative to the Tens”. Despite its status as a social event, RugbyFest has attracted a good number of rugby stars from yesteryear. This year should be no different.
