Hong Kong used yesterday's rugby international against the Arabian Gulf to give young players a chance to impress ahead of the 2007 World Cup qualifiers.
Six newcomers took the field at King's Park, including Mark Wright, 19, labelled as a 'top prospect' by Hong Kong Rugby Football Union's (HKRFU) community rugby manager Robbie McRobbie.
'He's a good, all-round prospect,' McRobbie said. 'He can play at flanker or on the wing. He's got speed, vision and he's a strong lad. For such a young age, he has shown good maturity.'
Captain Tom Cameron and Lee Cheuk-yin are two other players to watch out for in the team's remaining three matches scheduled for this month and next month.
'[Cheuk-yin] is at the peak of his form,' McRobbie said.
Hong Kong will next play two crucial World Cup qualifiers, travelling to Singapore on May 22 and then hosting China on June 5.
