Their tournament started with a 29-17 loss to Japan in Tokyo that could well have been a win, while the return leg at Hong Kong Football Club saw the Brave Blossoms strangle the hosts to win 16-0.
After a week’s break, Hong Kong produced a brilliant first 60 minutes against South Korea in Yesan to salute 43-17 before seeing off the Koreans 39-3 on home soil.
