MESSAGE from

Hong Kong Rugby Union

香港欖球總會致辭

O

n behalf of the Hong Kong Rugby Union (HKRU), I am delighted to welcome all international visitors to Hong Kong and to the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2018, the world’s biggest and best rugby sevens tournament.

With 40 international teams taking part in 2018, accompanied by an exciting calendar of entertainment acts and other rugby tournaments, the Hong Kong Sevens truly is “where the world comes to play!”

For the expected 120,000 spectators inside the stadium over Sevens weekend – the highlight of Hong Kong’s sporting and social calendar, three days of worldclass rugby will be seamlessly interwoven with world-class entertainment and some of Hong Kong’s trademark rugby revelry.

Those visitors not attending the Sevens are encouraged to drop by our many community and public engagements this month, or to visit the hundreds of local bars and restaurants joining us in getting into the Sevens spirit.

Details of all that is happening in and around the city this week can be found in the pages of this guide and we once again thank the publishers for helping us to promote the entire calendar of activities that have become famous worldwide as “Rugby Week in Hong Kong”.

Now in its 43rd year, the Hong Kong Sevens is an essential driver in growing and building awareness of rugby across our community. The success of the Sevens helps fund the Hong Kong Rugby Union’s wideranging development and social programmes year-round as we seek to introduce the benefits and values of the game to thousands of new participants from every walk of life in Hong Kong.

This would not be possible without the support of the thousands of fans who attend the Hong Kong Sevens every year.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who comes along for their incredible support down the years, and we look forward to seeing you all once again at the Sevens!

2018 Cathay Pacific/HSBC HKSevens Rugby Week Official Visitors Guide

I

n its 43rd year, the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2018 is yet again defying the odds, getting bigger and better every year.

Another full house is expected, with 120,000 rugby-and revelry-mad fans set to throng the Hong Kong Stadium over three fast and furious days of rugby this month.

And another outstanding show is in store as the upper reaches of international sevens remain tantalisingly competitive, with almost as many winners as tournaments so far in the World Rugby HSBC Sevens Series.

South Africa are in everyone’s sights as they cling to the top spot on the Series standings after a win in the opening Series event in Dubai and runners-up finishes in Sydney and Hamilton, New Zealand.

The South Africans are top seeds in Pool C for this year’s Hong Kong Sevens. The tournament draw was kind to the Blitzbokke, grouping them with England (ranked 7th on the Series entering Hong Kong), Scotland (12th) and South Korea, the team invited by World Rugby to take the 16th slot in the tournament.

Fiji remain a lurking threat as the defending Olympic, World Series and Hong Kong Sevens champions build momentum ahead of their return to their spiritual home away from home in Happy Valley.

The Fijians have won two of the last three tournaments, in Vancouver and Hamilton. Fiji have also won the past three Hong Kong Sevens on the trot, beating South Africa and New Zealand in those finales here.

The vociferous Fijian fan army will be willing their team to claim a record-breaking fourth consecutive cup in the sport’s premier tournament.

As usual, the road to that milestone travels through the New Zealand All Blacks, the most fearsome name in World Rugby and the second–most successful side in Hong Kong history with 11 cup wins here.

2018 Cathay Pacific/HSBC HKSevens Rugby Week Official Visitors Guide

入第43年，國泰航空/匯豐香港國際七人欖球賽繼續無懼 踏挑戰，規模空前盛大，精彩逐年升級。

預計今年球場內依舊座無虛席，12萬觀看欖球賽事和參加派 對的粉絲齊聚香港大球場，迎接緊張刺激的三天比賽。 今年的賽事同樣扣人心弦， 國際七人欖球傳統勁旅繼續施展 渾身解數，匯豐世界七人欖球賽的冠軍悉數登場。 南非隊是所有人關注的焦點，他們在杜拜舉行的系列賽中獲 得冠軍，在悉尼和新西蘭漢密頓的賽事中獲得亞軍，現時在匯豐世 界七人欖球系列賽中排名第一位。 南非是本屆香港國際七人欖球賽C組的頭號种子，這次的抽籤 結果對南非來說十分有利，同組有英格蘭（香港站比賽前排在第7 位）、蘇格蘭（第12位）和獲國際欖球總會邀請作為第16支種子隊 伍參賽的南韓隊。 斐濟隊仍是一個潛在威脅，這個奧運會、世界系列賽和香港 國際七人欖球賽冠軍勢頭銳不可當，香港大球場就猶如他們的第二 個家，不容小覷。 斐濟在最近的三場系列賽中獲得了溫哥華站和漢密頓站的冠 軍，在最近三屆香港國際七人欖球賽決賽中，他們擊敗南非和新西 蘭，蟬聯霸主地位。 斐濟隊的球迷熱切期望球隊成為第一支連續四年在香港國際 七人欖球賽獲得銀盃獎的隊伍。 正如以往一樣，斐濟的冠軍之路上還有另一隻攔路虎——新 西蘭，新西蘭是世界七人欖球賽中最令人聞風喪膽的名字，也是香 港站賽事歷史上排名第二的隊伍，他們曾11次在此捧得銀盃獎。

Tournament Intro

賽事簡介

Adding spice to that historic rivalry is the pairing of Fiji and New Zealand in what promises to be a fiercely contested Pool A. Another past Hong Kong champion and proud Pacific Island nation, Samoa, are in there too, with Russia rounding out what promises to be the most physically demanding group in this year’s tournament.

Pool B is topped by Kenya, as reward for their strong showing last month in Vancouver. They are grouped with Australia, who enter Hong Kong on something of a roll, ranked fourth on the World Series table. Canada, ranked 11th, and Spain, at 14th, complete the pool.

The USA Eagles have already tasted success on the Series this season – winning their home event in Las Vegas last month. Then a semi-finals appearance in Vancouver sees them seeded top in Pool D, where they face Argentina (one spot above them on the Series table in fifth place) in the pool stages.

France (ranked 10th) and Wales (13th) round out probably the most wide open of the pools.

Rounding out the excitement of the Hong Kong Sevens is the hosting of two more competitions during the tournament weekend, the World Rugby Men’s and Women’s Sevens Series qualifiers.

A further 24 teams (12 in the men’s tournament and 12 in the women’s tournament) will contest these hard-fought events with the lure of a full-time spot on the respective World Series on offer for each of the winners.

Hong Kong’s Men’s and Women’s national teams will be in the mix once again with the men having reached the semifinals stages in the qualifier in two of the past three seasons before bowing out unseasonably early last year.

Hong Kong’s women are eagerly eyeing the chance to play in front of the Hong Kong Stadium crowd for the first time ever during the Hong Kong Sevens. Previous editions of the Hong Kong Women’s Rugby Sevens tournament cum World Rugby Women’s Sevens Qualifier have seen the semi-finals and finals held beneath the lights and in front of the masses at the Sevens.

This year, the Hong Kong Rugby Union is opening the gates even earlier on Friday to accommodate all of the quarterfinals of the Women’s competition as well.

And as the beating heart of sevens rugby returns to the Hong Kong Stadium – sevens fever continues to spread to even more venues around town.

More than ever before, the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens is taking Hong Kong's biggest party to the people with the Sevens Kick-off Concert on Thursday, 5 April, featuring pop reggae legends UB40.

令賽事結果更加難以預料的是，斐濟和新西蘭竟同被分在 A 組。A組還有另一位香港站常勝將軍——太平洋島國薩摩亞，最後 還有俄羅斯，這一組絕對是今年對體力要求最高的一組。 B組頭號种子是肯雅，他們在上月溫哥華站賽事中狀態大勇。 和肯雅同組的有最近運氣不錯的澳洲隊，在香港站賽事開始前他們 排名第四。此外，B組還有暫時排在第11位的加拿大和第14位的西 班牙。 美國隊則在上個月剛剛嚐到甜頭——在拉斯維加斯的賽事中 主場取勝。在溫哥華的比賽中他們也進入了半決賽，現在是D組的 頭號种子，他們的對手有阿根廷（現時排名比美國高一位，位列第 5）、法國（第10位）和威爾斯（第13位），這可能是實力最平均 的一組。 除了主賽事以外，週末舉行的世界七人欖球賽男女子外圍賽 同樣值得關注。 24支隊伍（男女子比賽分別有12支隊伍）將在這場硬仗中拼 盡全力，勝者將鎖定世界欖球系列賽的一個席位。 香港男女子代表隊也是這場混戰中的一員。男子隊在過去三 個賽季中兩次殺入外圍賽半決賽，但去年卻意外地過早出局。 香港女子隊正熱切期待首次在香港七人欖球賽期間在香港大 球場一展身手。過去的香港女子七人欖球賽和世界女子七人欖球賽 外圍賽只有半決賽和決賽在大球場舉行。 今年，香港欖球總會將星期五舉行的女子四分之一決賽也移 師到大球場舉行。 此外，七欖狂熱繼續擴散至城中更多地方。 4月5日（星期四）舉行的國泰航空/匯豐香港國際七人欖球賽 前奏音樂會同樣值得期待。以流行雷鬼風格著名的傳奇樂隊 UB40 將在這場香港最盛大的派對上為大家帶來多首經典金曲。

Tournament Intro

賽事簡介

The beat continues over the weekend inside the stadium with performances from international recording artists Smash Mouth and top Hong Kong bands Andy is Typing and Chochukmo on the North Stand stage.

The action begins in Causeway Bay with the 16-day long Sevens Festival at Lee Gardens. This public festival sees a host of food and beverage and rugby-themed activities and musical entertainment helping to build excitement ahead of the Sevens.

Over the stadium weekend those without a ticket will want to visit Seasons at Lee Garden Two where a Sevens bar is being set-up to carry all of the live action on the big screens to members of the public.

“The Festival at Lee Gardens is one of many initiatives designed to share the Sevens with the whole community. We want people all over Hong Kong – and around the world, to feel part of this globally renowned event, and to enjoy it just like those inside the Stadium,” said Robbie McRobbie, CEO of the HKRU. And all over town, bars and restaurants are getting into the excitement with special discounts and deals for rugby fans.

As Hong Kong once again reverberates with its annual extravaganza of Sevens rugby and shameless fun, where else would anyone want to be?

週末大球場內的表演同樣令人血脈沸騰。國際流行樂隊 Smash Mouth、本地火熱音樂團隊 Andy is Typing 和觸執毛將 在北看台輪番獻藝。 七欖狂熱以銅鑼灣為起點展開。為期16天的「國泰航空/滙豐香 港國際七人欖球賽 -玩轉利園！」將為公眾帶來一系列美食、飲 品、欖球主題活動和音樂活動，在七人欖球賽開始前點燃大家的 熱情。 屆時利園二期的 Seasons 餐廳將設有七人欖球吧，沒有買 到大球場賽事門票的球迷們可到透過大屏幕欣賞欖球賽事直播。 香港欖球總會行政總裁麥偉彬先生表示：“「玩轉利園」系 列活動是和公眾分享七欖狂熱的眾多項目計劃之一。我們希望全 香港甚至全世界的人都能成為這項全球著名的盛事的參與者，和 大球場內的球迷一同享受七欖狂熱。” 城中眾多酒吧和餐廳也將為七欖球迷推出特別優惠。 香港再度迎來七人欖球賽年度盛會和無盡歡樂的欖球派對， 還有比這更吸引的地方嗎？

Meet The Teams

高手列陣

POOL A ／A組 Fiji 斐濟 The most successful team in Hong Kong Sevens history with an astonishing 17 cup titles in 43 years, including both Rugby World Cup Sevens titles in 1997 and 2005. Coached by former Hong Kong coach Gareth Baber, the Fijians enter the tournament ranked second on the Series, behind leaders South Africa, but are ominously gathering steam after their two recent cup successes. Fiji will be making a historic bid to become the first nation to win four times on the trot in Hong Kong. 斐濟隊是香港國際七人欖球賽歷史上最成功的隊伍，在這43年間曾17次捧 得銀盃獎，也是1997年及2005年的世界盃冠軍。在前香港隊教練備加力的 帶領下，斐濟隊現時在系列賽中的排名為第二位，僅次於南非隊。斐濟隊 在最近曾兩次獲得系列賽分站冠軍，勢頭十分好。今年，斐濟隊有機會成 為香港國際七人欖球賽歷史上第一支連續四年獲得銀盃獎的隊伍。

New Zealand 新西蘭 Traditionally the other dominant team in Hong Kong Sevens history, New Zealand are grouped with Fiji in Pool A, meaning that this year fans will have the rare treat of watching Hong Kong ’ s two most successful outfits meeting in the pool stages. The Kiwis are presently ranked third on the Series after reaching the final on the opening event in Dubai and winning the next tournament in Cape Town. Since then they have been kept out of the semi-final stages and have an uphill challenge to progress this year with Fiji alongside them at the start line. 新西蘭同樣是香港國際七人欖球賽的傳統勁旅之一，今年新西蘭和斐濟均 被分在A組，球迷們在分組賽階段就會看到這兩支實力強勁的隊伍的精彩 對壘。新西蘭隊在杜拜的分站賽中躋身決賽，更在開普敦的賽事中奪冠， 現時在系列賽中排在第三位。可是在這兩站的賽事之後新西蘭就沒有再進 入過半決賽，今年在一開始就遇到強勁的斐濟隊，挑戰實在不小。

Russia 俄羅斯 After three years full-time on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in which they have consistently diced with drop, is this the year Russia finally take a break? The season has proven to be a challenge for the Russians, who are nestled at the bottom of the table in the relegation place. They will be looking to perform well enough to climb out of the cellar and edge ahead of Spain, who are 14th on the table with 25 points. Russia’s best performances to date on the series are Bowl semi-final appearances in Sydney and Vancouver. 俄羅斯隊已連續三年在匯豐世界七人欖球系列賽中處於危險狀態，今年會 是球隊的滑鐵盧嗎？這一季賽事對俄羅斯隊來說絕對是一個大挑戰，他們 現時在系列賽排名末位，因此必須全力以赴，避免被降級。西班牙暫時以 25分排在第14位，俄羅斯隊必須超過他們，才能保住席位。俄羅斯在此前 的系列賽中的最好成績是在悉尼和溫哥華站躋身銀碗賽半決賽。

Samoa 薩摩亞 The fiercely proud Samoans will add to what is the most physically challenging pool at this year’s Hong Kong Sevens. Samoa are in ninth place on the Series, ahead of France. Their brightest moments this season include a Plate win in Hamilton and a Plate runners-up finish in Dubai, interspersed with Bowl appearances in the other four events to date. The winners of three Hong Kong Sevens cups in 1993, 2007 and 2010 will be looking to their traditionally solid support inside the Stadium to shake up the results of the season so far. 薩摩亞今年被分在對體力要求最高的組別。薩摩亞現時在系列賽中領先法 國一位，排名第9。他們在這一賽季的最好成績是在漢密頓的賽事中獲得 銀碟賽冠軍，以及在杜拜的賽事中獲得銀碟賽亞軍。此外，他們在另外四 站的賽事均進入銀碗賽。薩摩亞隊是1993年、2007年及2010年的香港國 際七人欖球賽冠軍，他們將在大球場球迷的支持下，爭取在系列賽排位上 再進一步。 2018 Cathay Pacific/HSBC HKSevens Rugby Week Official Visitors Guide

POOL B ／B組 Kenya 肯雅 Surprise cup finalists at the most recent event in Canada, Kenya are the top seeds in Pool B. The East Africans are currently in eighth place on the 15-team table with their 19 points from Canada the high point of a season that has so far seen them consistently reach the Plate semi-finals stages. Will that momentum carry forward into Hong Kong? 肯雅在最近加拿大的賽事中爆冷躋身決賽，成為B組頭號种子。球隊現時 在系列賽15支隊伍中排在第8位，他們在加拿大的賽事中取得19分，是他 們在這個賽季中取得的最高分，而且肯雅在多數賽事中均躋身銀碟賽半 決賽，不知他們在香港能否保持此水準？

Australia 澳洲 Australia are enjoying one of their most successful Sevens series in recent memory, currently ranked fourth on the table after winning their home event in Sydney in February. That lone title was rounded out by a third-place finish in Hamilton, New Zealand and Plate appearances in the other events so far. The hosts of the Commonwealth Games the week after Hong Kong will be looking to spring another homesoil surprise on the Gold Coast, but will need to make it through Hong Kong in one piece first. Australia have been given a favourable draw and are strong contenders to disrupt the formbook and finish at the top of Pool B come Saturday afternoon. 澳洲在今年系列賽上的表現可說是近年最佳，他們二月在主場悉尼取得 冠軍，現時排在第四位。此外，他們在新西蘭漢密頓獲得季軍，在其它 分站賽事也進入了銀碟賽。今年的英聯邦運動會將在香港國際七人欖球 賽一周後於黃金海岸舉行，澳洲作為東道主有望在賽事中再下一城，但 在此之前，他們需要先順利完成香港的賽事。這次抽籤對澳洲來說頗為 有利，星期六下午，實力強勁的澳洲隊有希望在B組突出重圍。

Spain 西班牙 Last year’s winners of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series Qualifier in Hong Kong, Spain are flirting with a quick descent (and have indeed been part of the general yo-yo between the qualifying stages and Series in recent years having earned promotion and then been relegated twice to date). Sitting in 14th place, one spot ahead of bottom-ranked Russia, the Spanish will be realistic enough to know that the Series title is beyond them and will be intent on doing just enough to keep their place at the top table as relegation time looms in June. 西班牙隊在去年匯豐世界七人欖球系列賽外圍賽中奪冠，但球隊最近的 表現一落千丈（近年來他們一直在外圍賽和系列賽之間左右搖擺，球隊 升級至系列賽後又兩次被降級）西班牙隊現時排名第14，僅領先於墊底 的俄羅斯隊。西班牙隊很清楚他們難以和其它對手爭奪系列賽名銜，他 們的目標是保住系列賽的席位，避免在六月份被降級。

Canada 加拿大 The fourth seeds in the pool Canada are paying the price for underperforming at their home event in Vancouver in March, but the 11th-ranked team will be looking to move up as the Series enters the home stretch. Last year’s Asian swing proved beneficial for the Canadians as they claimed their first-ever World Rugby Sevens Series title in Singapore the week after Hong Kong. Backed by a group of experienced veterans in the side, the Canadians can never be counted out. 加拿大在三月溫哥華的賽事中表現不佳，成為B組四號種子。球隊現時排 在第11位，有望在系列賽尾聲重整旗鼓。去年加拿大隊結束香港站的賽 事後，旋即在新加坡站的系列賽中封王，似乎在亞洲比賽對他們頗為有 利。加拿大隊擁有很多經驗十足的老手，實力不容忽視。

Meet The Teams 高 手 列 陣 POOL C ／C組 South Africa 南非 Last year’s Sevens Series champions, South Africa are the model of consistency that most teams aspire to. So far this season they have notched a cup win in the opening Series event in Dubai, complemented by runners-up results in Sydney and Hamilton and third-place finishes in Cape Town and Canada. Their worst result of the Series this year was only a fourth, in Las Vegas. With the “Blitzbokke” looking to contest Commonwealth Gold in Australia, a new-look side drawn from members of the Academy Sevens programme will feature in Hong Kong. While South Africa have reached the final here on several occasions without breaking through for a Cup win, perhaps the young tyros will be the ones to shine in the event that every team wants to win! 南非隊是去年七人欖球系列賽冠軍，其穩定性是所有隊伍中最高的。這個賽季他 們已在杜拜站獲得冠軍，在悉尼和漢密頓獲得亞軍，還在開普敦和加拿大獲得 季軍。他們這個賽季最差的成績是拉斯維加斯站的第四名。南非隊希望在英聯邦 運動會中取得金牌，香港站將派出由欖球學院的成員組成的新陣容。雖然南非在 香港曾多次進入決賽，但從未贏得銀盃獎，也許這群年輕小將能幫助球隊實現突 破。

England 英格蘭 Traditionally one of the best-supported sides in Hong Kong, England enter Hong Kong in seventh place in the standings. A solid opening start in Dubai, (traditionally a successful stage for England), where they finished in third, promised more than has been delivered to date, with the four-time Hong Kong champions falling to the Plate competition for the remainder of the events. A marginal improvement saw them win the Plate on their last outing in Canada. Can England continue to climb the ladder and reach the Cup on day three in Hong Kong? England (and masses of local fans) expects! 英格蘭隊向來在香港擁有大量粉絲，球隊現時排在第七位。英格蘭隊在杜拜站先 拔頭籌，取得季軍（英格蘭隊在杜拜站向來成績不俗）這次的表現值得期待。英 格蘭曾四次奪得香港站冠軍，但今年在除杜拜站外的賽事均只停留在銀碟賽。最 近在加拿大的賽事中，球隊的表現稍有改善。不知道他們在香港站的表現能否穩 步上揚，進入第三天的決賽？英格蘭隊（還有他們的粉絲）當然希望這樣！

Scotland 蘇格蘭 Scotland enter this year’s Hong Kong Sevens ranked 12th in the table. The Scots will be hunting for consistency after their high-water marks of the season so far have come few and far between, with Plate semi finals appearances in Dubai in November and New Zealand in February. The rest of their outings have seen them contest the Bowl competition, which they won on their last outing in Canada. The Scots will be hoping to move a step up in Hong Kong and will have a prime target with auld rivals England in the same pool. 蘇格蘭隊現時排在第12位，球隊在本賽季不時取得較好的成績，他們在11月的杜 拜站和2月的新西蘭站均躋身銀碟賽半決賽，但需要提高穩定性。球隊在其它站 的賽事中均進入銀碗賽，更在加拿大站取得銀碗賽冠軍。蘇格蘭隊需要在香港站 將排名奮力攀升，況且同組還有老對手英格蘭呢。

South Korea 韓國 The 16th team invited by the game’s governing body, World Rugby, to round out the four-pool competition, South Korea have been thrown in at the deep end once again at the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens. Korea qualified by virtue of being ranked third in the Asia Rugby Sevens Series (behind Japan and Hong Kong – both of whom have been invited to take part in the international qualifier here). With little in the way of international sevens experience, Korea struggled in last year’s competition, going winless in a pool that also saw them grouped with England. They were knocked out in the Shield semi-final by Asian rivals Japan. 南韓隊獲國際欖球總會邀請作為第16支種子隊伍參賽，但今年再次在國泰航空 / 匯豐香港國際七人欖球賽中陷入艱難的處境。南韓隊受邀請的原因是他們在亞洲 七人欖球系列賽中名列第三（僅次於日本和香港 - 兩隊都已被邀請參加國際外圍 賽）。球隊幾乎沒有國際賽事的經驗，去年同樣和英格蘭分在一組，在比賽中未 能取得一場勝仗，最後在銀盾賽半決賽中被日本擊敗。

POOL D ／D組 USA 美國 Under the tutelage of former England Sevens star and coach Mike Friday, and with a bounty of natural athletic talent to choose from after the inclusion of Sevens into the Olympics, the Eagles are flying high in the short-form rugby code. Their most recent success was also the first-ever home Cup win for the Eagles at the Las Vegas leg in March. They followed that up with a fourth-place finish overall in Canada. With some of the teams from the Commonwealth having one eye fixed on the Commonwealth Games immediately following Hong Kong, the USA could have a clear shot at their first Hong Kong Sevens Cup. 美國隊現時由前英格蘭七人欖球明星和教練 Mike Friday 帶領，在七人欖 球被列入奧運後，球隊發掘了更多優秀運動員，因此美國隊在七人欖球 中的表現越來越好。他們最近的佳績是3月在拉斯維加斯站首次取得主場 銀盃賽冠軍，在之後的加拿大站賽事中他們也取得第四名。因為有一些 隊伍將重心放在了緊接香港站比賽的英聯邦運動會，美國隊有望在香港 躋身銀盃賽決賽。

Argentina 阿根廷 Pool D once again looks to be the most evenly matched with the Eagles’ third place in Canada putting them atop the pool but still trailing Argentina by one spot on the international standings.

Argentina have notched top-four finishes in Cape Town and Las Vegas already this season as they look to be returning to their peak form of the early 2000s, when they reached their only Cup final in Hong Kong (losing to England 22-12 in 2004).

D 組看起來實力最為平均，美國隊在加拿大取得冠軍，成為 D 組頭號种 子。但系列賽排名仍落後於阿根廷一位。阿根廷隊在開普敦和拉斯維加 斯成功躋身銀盃賽，似乎已重回他們在2000年代的巔峰狀態，那是他們 在香港唯一 一次進入銀盃賽決賽（2004年，以12-22敗給英格蘭）。

Wales 威爾斯 Wales return to Hong Kong in 13th on the standings and will be looking to run the remainder of the series out on a high. The Welsh will have strong support in the Stadium, not least from the high number of Welsh sevens coaches in the SAR, including head sevens and 15s coaches Paul John and Leigh Jones, and Chief Rugby Operations officer Dai Rees, all of whom played for and coached in Wales in the past. Wales reached their only Cup final in Hong Kong in 2013. 威爾斯現時位列第13名，有望在接下來的系列賽中再進一步。大球場內 支持威爾斯的球迷向來不少，而且香港有許多來自威爾斯的七人欖球教 練，包括港隊七人欖球教練Paul John、15人欖球教練Leigh Jones以及 欖球營運總監Dai Rees，他們都曾在威爾斯打欖球和擔任教練。2013年 是威爾斯隊在香港站唯一一次進入銀盃賽決賽。

France 法國 Tenth-ranked France’s best performance on the Series this season came early on in the competition with a Plate semi-final run in Cape Town in late 2017. Other than that benchmark, France have been left to contest the Bowl competition in three other events – winning on every occasion. Their form dipped further in recent events as they fell to contesting the Shield in two of the last three tournaments and reached the nadir of their season in Canada when they bowed out in the Shield semi-finals claiming only one point from that last outing. 位列第10名的法國在今年的系列賽早期表現不錯。2017年年底，法國隊 在開普敦站成功躋身銀碟賽半決賽，到現時位為止，這是他們在今年系 列賽中的最佳成績。除此之外，法國隊在另外三站的賽事中均躋身銀碗 賽並取得勝利。但球隊最近表現不佳，他們在最近三場比賽中的兩場都 只能爭奪銀盾獎，最近的加拿大站的成績是球隊今年的最差成績，他們 在銀盾賽半決賽中只取得1分。

World Rugby Sevens Series Qualifier

世界七人欖球系列賽外圍賽

2018

The Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens will once again play host to the global battle for promotion to the 2018-19 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in the 12-team World Rugby Sevens Series Qualifier.

Last year’s action saw Spain top the 12-team tournament, (teams are drawn from all of World Rugby’s six geographical regions), edging Germany in the final to book their spot in the main World Rugby HSBC Sevens Series event in Hong Kong this year.

Asian Sevens champions Japan failed to stick on the global circuit last season and return to the qualifying stakes in 2018.

The field is once again bristling with talent, and form.

As declarations of intent go, Germany (not previously known as a major rugby power) made a statement in dispatching Hong Kong in the pool stages for a second year running in 2017, eventually progressing to the final.

The emergence of Spain, Russia and Germany in recent years has shown the new focus being placed on sevens rugby on the continent, a trend that has only grown since Rugby Sevens’ inclusion as a medal sport in the 2016 Olympic Games.

The latest testament to the renewed interest in sevens is the return of Ireland to their first Hong Kong Sevens since 2000.

Ireland finished second in the European Grand Prix last season, behind Russia, to book their spot in Hong Kong.

They have also qualified for the Rugby World Cup Sevens and with the Ireland national rugby team (15s) winning the Six Nations Grand Slam in March, the Irish will be hoping that their luck holds for another tournament.

Ireland top Pool G ahead of Uruguay, Jamaica and Cook Islands.

Hosts Hong Kong will be back for another tilt after a disappointing finish last year left them out of the running despite reaching the cup final in 2016, where they just missed out on a full place on the Series after a heartbreaking loss to Japan.

Hong Kong will once again have the crowd throatily behind them and will be out to perform early on in a season that sees the Rugby World Cup Sevens and Asian Games sevens competition still on the calendar this summer.

Hong Kong are pooled along with two of last year’s semi-finalists in Germany and Papua New Guinea as well as an experienced outfit from Zimbabwe.

Last year’s debutants Uganda (the 61st nation to take part in the Hong Kong Sevens over the past 43 years) have maintained their form to return as African champions, along with Zimbabwe, who have amassed significant experience on the Series in recent seasons.

Uganda are in Pool E along with Japan, one of the favourites to return to the core series, Chile and Georgia.

All of the teams come to Hong Kong keener than ever to make sure they can line up for a full season at the very top of the game if they win the qualifying tournament here.

由12支隊伍參加的「世界七人欖球系列賽外圍賽」再 次於「國泰航空/匯豐香港國際七人欖球賽」上演，最終獲 勝的隊伍可晉級至下一賽季的「2018-19 匯豐世界七人欖球 系列賽」。 在去年的比賽中，西班牙成為12支隊伍中的冠軍（參 賽隊伍來自國際欖球理事會6個賽區），在決賽中險勝德 國，鎖定了今年「匯豐世界七人欖球系列賽」的席位。 「亞洲七人欖球系列賽」冠軍日本隊在上一賽季表現 不佳，因此要參加2018年的外圍賽。 這又是一場高手雲集的比賽，且各隊狀態大勇。 正如賽前目標一樣，德國（並非傳統欖球勁旅）在 2017年的分組賽中擊敗香港，成功晉級決賽，充分證明了 球隊的實力。 近年來西班牙、俄羅斯和德國的崛起表明七人欖球 已成為許多國家的重點訓練項目，這是自從七人欖球賽在 2016年奧運首次被列入獎牌項目開始的。 人們對七人欖球賽的興趣開始重燃，這從愛爾蘭回歸 香港七人欖球賽已可見一斑，他們上一次出現在香港七人 欖球賽已經是2000年的事了。 愛爾蘭在上一賽季的歐洲七人欖球大獎賽中獲得第二 名，僅次於俄羅斯，因此獲得香港賽的席位。 他們也獲得了參加七人欖球世界盃的資格，愛爾蘭國 家欖球隊（15人隊）在三月舉行的六國錦標賽中獲勝，希 望這次同樣好運。 愛爾蘭是G組頭號種子，其余隊伍包括烏拉圭、牙買加 和庫克群島。 主辦方香港再次面對一場硬仗，雖然2016年香港隊 成功躋身外圍賽決賽，但最後惜敗於日本，無緣晉級系列 賽。 香港球迷們再次為香港吶喊助威，香港隊還將參加今 年夏天舉辦的七人欖球世界杯和亞洲七人欖球賽事。 香港隊所在的小組內還有去年躋身半決賽的兩支球 隊——德國隊和巴布亞新幾內亞隊，最後還有經驗豐富的 津巴布韋。 去年新亮相的非洲冠軍球隊烏干達（43年以來第61個 參加香港國際七人欖球賽的國家）狀態依然不錯，同樣來 自非洲的津巴布韋在最近賽季的系列賽中累積了豐富的經 驗。 烏干達位於E組，同組還有多次成功晉級系列賽的日 本，以及智利和喬治亞。 所有來港參賽的隊伍若獲得外圍賽冠軍，都將拼盡全 力，爭取一直留在系列賽中。

世界女子七人欖球 系列賽 – 外圍賽

Entering its third decade in 2018, Hong Kong’s long-running women’s sevens tournament has for a second consecutive year been granted World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series Qualifier status.

Responding to the increased recognition afforded the women’s tournament, the Hong Kong Rugby Union has included the full second day of action inside the Stadium on Friday, 6 April – expanding the world-class women’s rugby on offer during Sevens weekend from the two semi-finals and cup final held last year.

Twelve teams will once again contest the tournament. The first day of action is free to all members of the public and will be played at So Kon Po, immediately across from the Hong Kong Stadium.

The 12 teams drawn from the six World Rugby regions are South Africa and Kenya (Africa), Mexico (Americas North), Argentina and Brazil (Americas South), China, Kazakhstan and hosts Hong Kong (Asia), Belgium, Wales and Poland – making their Hong Kong debut (Europe) and Papua New Guinea (Oceania).

The Hong Kong debut of Poland brings the total of participating nations in Hong Kong’s women’s sevens event to 42.

Last year’s runners-up (losing to Japan in the final) South Africa top Pool X, alongside fellow African side Kenya, and Papua New Guinea and Mexico.

Pool Y sees Olympic 2016 hosts Brazil as the top seeds alongside the contingent of Asian teams with China, Kazakhstan and Hong Kong.

Pool Z is home to the European sides with Wales at the top of the group ahead of Belgium, Argentina and Poland.

The tournament winner will be promoted to the HSBC World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series in 2018/19, replacing the bottomplaced team on the series after the final event in Paris in June.

2018年，香港女子七人欖球賽踏入第21年，並連續第二年作為世界 女子七人欖球賽系列賽的外圍賽。 鑑於女子七人欖球賽的重要性日益增加，香港欖球總會將第二天 （4月6日，星期五）的所有女子賽事移師到香港大球場舉行。而去年這 項世界級的女子欖球比賽只有兩場半決賽和決賽在大球場舉行。 今年同樣有12支隊伍參加比賽，第一天的比賽將在香港大球場對面 的掃桿埔運動場舉行，並免費向公眾開放。 來自六大洲的 12 支隊伍包括南非和肯雅（非洲）、墨西哥（北美 洲）、阿根廷和巴西（南美洲）、中國、哈薩克和主辦城市香港（亞 洲）、比利時、威爾斯和首次參賽的波蘭（歐洲）以及巴布亞新幾內亞 （大洋洲） 。 波蘭的首次亮相令參加香港女子七人欖球賽的國家總數達到42個。 去年的亞軍（決賽落敗於日本）南非在X組排名第一，同組還有同 樣來自非洲的肯雅、巴布亞新幾內亞和墨西哥。 Y組第一位是2016年奧運會主辦國巴西，同組的其它隊伍全部來自 亞洲，分別是中國、哈薩克和香港。 Z組則多數是歐洲國家隊伍，威爾斯佔據第一位，然後是比利時、 阿根廷和波蘭。 本項賽事冠軍將晉級至下季「匯豐世界女子七人欖球賽系列賽 2018/19」，取替今年6月在巴黎舉行的系列賽末位隊伍。

Where is the best place to sit inside the stadium?

Ben Rimene (BR): To watch the rugby, sit anywhere along the East or West stands. But for a good time, go to the South Stand!

黎萬利：光是觀看欖球賽事的話，可以坐在東看台或西看 台的任何地方。但是南看台的氣氛最為熱烈！

Christy Cheng (CC): It depends. If you want to party, get into the South Stand – it’s the most amazing party experience.

To watch the games, the upper stands let you see the whole game unfold.

鄭家慈：要分情況。如果你喜歡派對的感覺就選擇南看 台，這裡能給您最棒的派對體驗。想認真觀看賽事的話，坐在 上面的看台，整個比賽場地一覽無遺。 得分：1-1

黎萬利：幾年前，有幾個人扮成金正恩和丹尼斯 · 羅德曼 （Dennis Rodman），我非常喜歡。

CC: I saw three guys wearing scary baby masks once. It still unnerves me and later I found out that [3-time World Rugby Player of the Year] Dan Carter was one of them! That’s so cool!

鄭家慈：我見過三個戴着可怕的嬰兒面具的人。現在想起來 依然讓我感到不安，但後來我發現丹·卡特 [三次當選國際欖球總會 的年度最佳欖球選手] 是其中之一！太酷了！

黎萬利：是很棒的經歷，這不是欖球手常有的機會。那是永生 難忘的時刻，你真的能感受到球迷們的力量。現場非常吵雜，有時 很難聽到大家在說什麼。但比賽一開始，你就不會在意這些了。

Do you have any pre-game rituals?

You have to get yourself up for the game, and then after you need to relax and recover and then get back up for the next game. No rituals but I often have a coffee before a game.

你有什麼賽前必定要做的事嗎？ 黎萬利：在比賽期間你不能一直停留在一個狀態。比賽前你 必須讓自己興奮起來，比賽結束你要放鬆和恢復，為下一場比賽 做準備。我沒有什麼必定要做的事，但我常常會在比賽前喝一杯 咖啡。

Food, Glorious Food 珍饈美饌

With more than 11,000 restaurants operating in the city, covering the widest range of cuisines possible, choosing where to eat can be daunting. For fine dining, Hong Kong boasts more than 60 Michelin-starred restaurants. Here we offer some tips on where and what to eat. 香港有超過11,000間餐廳，各國美食紛呈，選擇吃什麼有時也是蠻傷腦筋的事。光是高級美 饌，香港就擁有超過60間米其林星級餐廳。本刊為您精選了以下一系列美食。

Local Hong Kong Food 香港地道 美食

W

hether it is wonton noodles, roast meats or local desserts, you simply must try out Hong Kong’s own food specialties. Local eateries, called 'cha chaan teng' such as Tsui Wah, are a good choice. Find a street food vendor in any of the crowded streets and just point to what you want. Try Hay Hay in Wanchai for excellent Char Siu Rice (roasted pork). Visit a cooked food centre - on the top floor of most public wet markets, located throughout the city.

無論是雲吞麵、燒味或傳統甜品，您一定要試試香港的地 道美食。本地連鎖茶餐廳翠華是不錯的選擇。你也可 在車水馬龍的街道上找一間街頭小吃，不知道怎麼下單的話 直接指一下就好了。位於灣仔的喜喜以叉燒飯聞名，值得一 試。此外，別錯過位於全港各區街市樓上的熟食中心。

Cantonese Food

F

amous all over the world, thanks to the many Chinatowns overseas, Cantonese cuisine suits any occasion, and Hong Kong undoubtedly serves some of the finest. A dim sum lunch, available at many Cantonese restaurants, is a must (tip: go in a group, to try more dishes) – try the award-winning Victoria City Restaurant, or Tim Ho Wan, the lowest-priced restaurant in the Michelin guide. Among Cantonese cuisine, the seafood is not to be missed. We recommend Chuk Yuen Seafood Restaurant or perhaps Nanhai No. 1, in Tsim Sha Tsui, which has a stunning view of the harbour. Or for a top-of-the-range Cantonese meal with that special someone, a dining experience at the three-Michelin-starred Tang Court Restaurant at Langham Hotel is guaranteed to last in the memory.

34

粵式美食

世界各地的唐人街令粵菜蜚聲國際。香港在粵菜烹調 水準方面絕對無可比擬。您一定要到粵式餐廳品 嚐一頓點心午餐，不妨試試獲獎餐廳海都海鮮酒家的精 美點心。添好運是平價米其林星級餐廳之選，這裡的點 心價廉物美。粵菜的精髓當然是海鮮，您絕不可錯過。 竹園海鮮飯店主打各類海鮮，價格實惠。想一邊欣賞美 景，一邊享受美食的話，位於尖沙咀的南海一號是您的 不二之選。如果想和特別的人一起品嚐高級粵菜，位於 朗廷酒店的米其林三星餐廳唐閣定能為您提供一頓難忘 的晚餐。 2018 Cathay Pacific/HSBC HKSevens Rugby Week Official Visitors Guide

Chinese Regional & Asian Cuisines 中國各省美食 及亞洲美食

S

ichuan cuisine, known for its spiciness, is increasingly popular, especially the Chongqing spicy chicken hotpot.

Try a branch of Supreme Restaurant which specializes in spicy chicken hotpot, in Causeway Bay or Mongkok. For more refined Sichuan food, head to Deng G in Wanchai or Qi House of Sichuan in Tsim Sha Tsui: both serve quality authentic Sichuan food.

Japanese cuisine is highly popular in the city, from sushi to ramen to fusion options. Perhaps opt for an omakase (chef’s choice) sushi meal, prepared right in front you by the sushi chef at the counter at many fine Japanese sushi restaurants, such as Hanabi on Knutsford Terrace in Tsim Sha Tsui; or enjoy slurping good ramen noodles at any of the ramen noodle outlets in Causeway Bay, including the popular Tsuta.

以辣聞名的川菜越來越受歡迎，特別是重慶麻辣雞煲。至尊 重慶雞煲遠近馳名，在銅鑼灣及旺角均設有分店。想品嚐

更高級的川菜的話，位於灣仔的鄧記以及位於尖沙咀的呇均提 供正宗高質素川菜，同樣值得一試。 無論是壽司還是拉麵，日本菜在香港大受歡迎。許多高級日本 菜餐廳設有廚師發辦套餐，由廚師 指定菜式，並在您面前準備和烹 調食材，位於尖沙咀諾士佛臺的 Hanabi 正是最具代表性的餐廳之 一。您也可到銅鑼灣的眾多拉麵店 嚐一碗熱氣騰騰的拉麵，拉麵店蔦 有口皆碑，去試試吧。

International Cuisines 環球美食

H

ong Kong offers pretty much every international cuisine, including a few up-and-coming varieties from South America. Try Tokyolima in Central for innovative and tasty Nikkei Peruvian food; or the Tango Argentinian Steakhouse in Lan Kwai Fong, which combines excellent steak with the best wines from Argentina. To celebrate a special occasion, consider Junon in Wanchai, where traditional Baroque French period décor and nostalgic Hong Kong music entertainment are the backdrop for some classy French food. And for some good ol’ American fare, the iconic Bubba Gump, located at The Peak, is recommended both for its Cajun food and all the Forrest Gump paraphernalia. Finally, for a sumptuous buffet with a stunning 360-degree view of the city, seek out Grand Buffet, the famous revolving restaurant at the top of Hopewell Building in Wanchai.

Choi Hung Estate 彩虹邨 One of the city’s top Instagram spots. This public housing estate in Kowloon is one of its oldest, and the literal meaning of the name – rainbow – is strikingly represented in its vivid colours. The bold palate is beautifully set off by its geometric facade. Meanwhile, the colourful basketball courts in front of the estate offer an alternative, equally cool perspective. Choi Hung MTR Station Exit C3 彩虹邨是 Instagram 的熱門打卡點，也是九龍歷史最悠 久的公共屋邨之一。顧名思義，大廈外牆被塗上五顏六色的油 漆，這些顏色和大廈的外形配合得恰到好處。在屋邨前的彩色 籃球場拍攝大廈外牆可拍到角度獨特的美照。港鐵彩虹站C3 出口。

Instagram Pier（西環公眾貨物裝卸區） This waterfront cargo pier in Sai Wan, Hong Kong Island, has become one of the hottest social media spots in the city, thanks to its unimpeded and closeup view of Victoria Harbour. The containers scattered around the jetty, which juts out on the harbour on three sides, offer various photo vantage angles. Hordes of photo enthusiasts try to capture that perfect sunset picture when the weather is right. 8 Fung Mat Road, Sai Wan, Hong Kong. 這個位於港島西環海邊的貨櫃碼頭是Instagram上最 受歡迎的拍照地點之一。這裡視野開闊，您可在此看到維 多利亞港全景。碼頭的三面都放有集裝箱，為拍攝者提供 了不同的拍攝角度。天氣適合的話，許多攝影愛好者會來 這裡拍攝日落照片。西環豐物道8 號。

Lamma Island 南丫島 This beautiful Island just south of Hong Kong Island is a weekend favourite among locals. There are two quaint villages, free of motor traffic and a nice beach in between.

Start at Yung Shue Wan village and hike to Sok Kwu Wan village. You’ll pass by Hung Shing Ye Beach before ascending a small hill with spectacular views along the way.

End your visit at one of the famous seafood restaurants at Sok Kwu Wan, before going back to the city. Take a ferry from Central Pier number 4 to Yung Shue Wan, and then the other ferry line back to Central from Sok Kwu Wan.

Dragon’s Back 龍脊 With 70 percent of its area green, a majority of which is protected country parks, Hong Kong is a haven for hiking, criss-crossed by well-marked hiking trails. One of the best known and scenic is the Dragon’s Back – a series of hilly ridges in south-eastern Hong Kong Island, stretching from Chai Wan to Shek O and Big Wave Beach.

The hike is rated moderate and suitable for most abilities and ages. Once up to the ridge, spectacular views of the South China Sea and distant green hills await you. Take Bus 9 from Shau Kei Wan and get off at the Cape Collison Stop near Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution and walk up the short distance to the connecting trail. This leads you to Shek O Road where you can take a bus down to Shek O Beach for food and refreshment.

香港的綠色植物覆蓋面積達70%，其中大多數是 郊野公園。此外，香港有許多指示簡單清晰的遠足徑， 因此這裡是遠足愛好者的天堂。龍脊是香港最著名的遠 足徑之一，風景綺麗，包括位於港島東柴灣至石澳和大 浪灣的一系列山脊。這條遠足徑難度適中，適合各年齡 人士。您可在山脊處遠眺南中國海和翠綠山巒的壯麗景 色。從筲箕灣乘坐9號巴士，在柴灣的大潭峽懲教所下 車，然後步行一段較短的路程即可到達連接龍脊的港島 徑。沿着這條遠足徑可走到石澳道，您可在此乘坐巴士 到石澳泳灘補充食物和飲品。

8 Cool Things to do

Old Style Ferry 舊式渡輪 Ferries were once the dominant and only transport from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon and beyond. The opening of the cross-harbour tunnel and the MTR in the 1970s lessened their importance, and many of the ferries have been put to retirement. Thankfully, a number of lines still ply their trade, offering a relaxed and nostalgic journey across the harbour.

Sai Wan Ho Ferry Pier, in eastern Hong Kong Island, carries commuter and sightseeing passengers to Lei Yue Mun and Kwun Tong, in Kowloon.

An afternoon stroll along the waterfront promenade on either side of the harbour is always pleasant. Sai Wan Ho Ferry Pier, 45 Tai Hong Street, Sai Wan Ho, Hong Kong. 橫渡維多利亞港的渡輪曾是市民從港島前往九龍的 唯一交通方式，1970年代，過海隧道和地鐵的落成令渡 輪的重要性大大減少，大部分渡輪都已停止使用。值得 慶幸的是，有一些渡輪如今仍維持服務，讓您在維港上 緬懷昔日時光。位於香港東部的西灣河碼頭設有渡輪前 往九龍的鯉魚門和觀塘。您可以沿着維港兩岸的海濱長 廊漫步，度過一個愉快的下午。西灣河太康街45號西灣 河碼頭。

Double-decker Bus Ride 雙層巴士 Hong Kong Tram 香港電車 Visitors and locals still love to take a ride on the famous “ding ding” – the ubiquitous tram that lumbers along the tram tracks on Hong Kong Island. One of the oldest public transport modes in the city, the Tram, which started running in 1904, offers a most relaxing way to enjoy Hong Kong’s vibrant cityscape of old buildings, skyscrapers, shops and bustling crowds. Try any of the trams running from Kennedy Town to Happy Valley, or from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan. 香港電車又稱為“叮叮”，您經常可看到它們在港島區的 電車路上緩慢地行駛着。香港電車於1904年投入使用，是香港 最古老的交通工具之一。坐在電車上，您可以舒適地體驗由舊 建築、摩天大廈、商鋪和熙熙攘攘的人群所構成的獨特城市風 光。隨意跳上一輛由堅尼地城至跑馬地或筲箕灣的電車，開始 您的電車之旅吧。

There are more than 5,000 double-decker buses in Hong Kong, forming a comprehensive transport network that daily carries millions of passengers to all parts of the city. Besides being utilitarian, some of the routes are a thrill in themselves, especially along narrow, winding roads. Try either Citybus Number 6 from Central to Stanley or First Bus Number 14 from Sai Wan Ho to Stanley. crossing Tai Tam Reservoir dam (where two vehicles can barely pass, but still do). The feeling of tree branches glancing off the bus window only adds to the atmospheric ride. Sit in the very first row left-hand side, upper deck, if you can. 香港有超過5000輛雙層巴士，每天接載數百萬人次前往全 港各區。除了交通的作用以外，其中一些巴士路線充滿歡樂和 刺激感，尤其是在狹窄彎曲的道路上。但不用擔心，香港的巴 士非常安全。不妨乘坐從中環至赤柱的6號城巴或從西灣河至赤 柱的14號新巴，14號新巴途中會經過大潭水塘（水壩的寬度剛 剛好能讓兩輛相反方向的車同時通過）。光是那種樹枝掃過車 窗的感覺已經足夠刺激。可以的話，坐在上層左邊第一排吧。
