Senior Hong Kong Rugby Football Union (HKRFU) officials Peter Duncan and Allan Payne will fly to Argentina later this month seeking guarantees from the International Rugby Board (IRB) over the financial security of the Hong Kong Sevens.
The IRB will host its annual council meeting in mid-April in Buenos Aires and one of the main topics of discussion will be the new World Sevens Grand Prix circuit.
Hong Kong has indicated that it will join the circuit, but wants assurances from the IRB that the HKRFU will not lose out financially.
They will also press their claims for the Hong Kong Sevens to host the 'Grand Final' in the eight or 10-stop world series.
'We would want guarantees from the IRB that we will not lose out by joining the new circuit,' said Payne, HKRFU executive director.
IRB chief executive Stephen Baines, who was a guest of honour at last weekend's Credit Suisse First Boston Hong Kong Sevens, said tournaments included in the proposed circuit would lose their broadcasting rights which would all come under the IRB umbrella.
Television and broadcasting rights is one of the main revenue-earners for the the Hong Kong Sevens.
