Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens event planner: your guide to the ultimate sports party
From Hong Kong’s men and women tackling the Melrose Claymores competition, to K-pop and Eurodance, there’s something for everyone
It feels as though we have been talking about the 50th anniversary of the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens for months, which, in fairness, some people have.
Planning for the week has been serious business, both for organisers and those with three days of partying and rugby in mind.
