Hong Kong rugby teams prepare for Kai Tak Sevens

Hong Kong's rugby teams have announced their squads for the upcoming Cathay/HSBC Sevens at Kai Tak Stadium. The men's team will feature two young players, James Kee, 19, and Rory Stewart-Cox, 24, who may make their international debuts. The men's squad is looking to recover from a poor performance in the Challenger Series, where they finished ninth and tenth. Head coach Jevon Groves acknowledged the team's struggles and emphasized the importance of consistency moving forward. The local team will be defending their title against competitors from China and Japan over three days. The tournament is expected to attract large crowds, with nearly 43,000 three-day tickets already sold. Groves recognizes the pressure of playing at home. He stated that the team aims to inspire local fans and promote rugby in the community. He believes that if they manage their stress and play to their strengths, they can perform well this weekend.
