The 38 year old Hong Kong Sevens is considered the premier tournament on the IRB Sevens World Series rugby sevens competition . five Howlers will be part of 4 different sides (2 men and 2 women) playing in front of some 120,00 rugby crazed fans at So Kon Po Stadium over the 3 day tournament ( March 25 - 27)
The international television coverage is set to break an HSBC SWS record with 23 individual broadcasters taking the live coverage worldwide and live/delayed coverage reaching its widest footprint ever with an expected reach of 257 million homes in 144 countries.
Of the 28 participating teams at this year's Hong Kong Sevens Brazil and Jamaica are making their Hong Kong Sevens debut, becoming the 52nd and 53rd nations respectively to take part in the tournament since 1976.
In a testament to the growing parity in international sevens rugby, five different teams have won the five HSBC SWS events played to date. Defending Hong Kong Sevens champions Fiji won the Series' opener in Australia, while Samoa claimed the cup in Dubai, followed by New Zealand in South Africa (Port Elizabeth). England won the Wellington Sevens, while South Africa, who have been in two finals in Hong Kong but have yet to win the Cup, are the winners of the most recent HSBC SWS event in Las Vegas.
A record 70 men's matches will be played as part of this year's tournament. Matches start at 16.00 on Friday and 9.00am on Saturday and Sunday. For a tenth consecutive year, the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens has attracted sold out attendance.
