The Hong Kong Rugby Union sevens squads will have their first international competition since last November this weekend in the opening leg of the UK Super Sevens Series at Newbury RFC.

Hong Kong are well prepared after embarking on a two-month training and competitive camp in the UK earlier this month.

The squads have already had a midweek training session and game simulation with England at their camp at Loughborough University in the build-up.

A hefty contingent of Hong Kong’s top players and potential sevens hopefuls are in the UK in preparation for upcoming competitions like the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series in August and the Rugby World Cup Sevens in September.

Both squads are in action on Saturday in the first of three tournaments they will contest in UK and Portugal. The UK series is known to attract premier international players and teams, and the expectation for this season is high with the return of sevens globally.
