What on earth is going on with the powers that be in Hong Kong television circles? The otherwise fantastic long holiday weekend was ruined for me and many others by the discovery that our subscriptions to Setanta, by way of Now TV, no longer covers the Six Nations Championship.

What an outstanding performance by our Hong Kong boys on Tuesday night against Belgium at King's Park. We should not underestimate the significance of the result, along with the hard work put in by all the players and coaches.

As we come to the end of another HSBC Asian Sevens Series and as I prepare to step back from coaching and settle into a new overarching role at the Hong Kong Rugby Football Union as head of technical development and performance, it seems the right time to pause and reflect on the recent success of our international programmes.
