Honestly, it feels as though we’ve been talking about this day for months, which, when you think about it, we have.
Through the test events, the dark days of December and the last Sevens in Causeway Bay, everything has been building up to this.
The Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens has finally reached Kai Tak Sports Park, the shining jewel in the city’s entertainment crown and for the next three days the centre of all our attention.
There are 26 games on Friday, starting with Japan and Canada’s women, an opening ceremony with lasers, a fan village, and 43,000 fans expected through the gates. So, follow us for live coverage of day one.
