The Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens is “where the world comes to play” but for many of those who spend the weekend in the South Stand, it is where the world comes to play dress up. Costumes are the order of the day (if not all three days) for these rugby revellers and there have been some inspired choices over the years. National dress, politicians and Disney characters are popular choices but recent years have also seen fans dress up as characters from hit shows including Game of Thrones and Baywatch. There are sure to be more this year but until the fun starts on Friday, look back at some of the best from Hong Kong Sevens gone by and remember it’s not too late to make your own mark in the fancy dress stakes at this year’s tournament.
