HONG KONG, June 22 — The famous Hong Kong Sevens could return in November for the first time in more than three years under a Beijing Olympics-style “closed-loop” system, organisers told AFP today.
Hong Kong Rugby Union CEO Robbie McRobbie said the Olympic-style plans had proved acceptable to World Rugby but still had to be given the “green light” by the city government after which a final decision would be made whether to go ahead. “But we will do all we can to get this on — we know how important it is for our city to get going again.”
The event is one of city’s biggest social events, normally seeing 40,000 sell-out crowds for all three days with fan zones, bars and restaurants across the city catering to thousands more.
