It is D-day today for Colin Bisley, Ricky Cheuk Ming-yin and Jeff Wong. The three sevens stars will have to convince the selectors they are fit to be picked for the World Cup Sevens in Dubai in March.
Bisley and Cheuk only had their first taste of competitive rugby last week and will face an anxious wait before a 16-strong squad is named after tonight's final trials. This squad will be further pruned to 12 for a visit to Darwin next week.
'My fingers are crossed. Hopefully, I will make it,' said Bisley, who is coming back from a seven-month lay-off after knee and shoulder operations.
A playmaking centre, Bisley had his first run-out last Saturday for the Hong Kong Cricket Club second team and emerged unscathed, declaring he was fit and ready.
'I felt solid during the game. It was good to be back out there but I know it won't be a shoo-in.
'There is a lot of competition. This is good for Hong Kong rugby, although it is not so good for me,' said Bisley.
Cheuk, who captained Hong Kong at the Doha Asian Games in 2006, has been out of competitive rugby for as long as Bisley. The Hong Kong Football Club winger, who had major knee surgery, returned to contact rugby at last Wednesday's trials.
