Hong Kong pay the price to finish empty handed at Rugby World Cup

Jones and Hewson's yellow cards in World Cup Bowl quarter-final against Georgia decisive

HK captain Rowan Varty

Georgia will be on Hong Kong's mind for some time, especially for Lee Jones and Nick Hewson, who were both yellow-carded in the World Cup Sevens Bowl quarter-final, their absence effectively ending the side's silverware hopes as the Europeans ran out 31-10 winners.

The loss of the two influential forwards made a tough task all but impossible. Georgia were one of the more imposing teams at this 24-team tournament and Hong Kong knew well beforehand that it would be a battle in the trenches, upfront and at the breakdown.
