Now that USA Sevens is under the belt (all videos are uploaded at videos)…its time for Hong Kong 7s! Every year I struggle to find details but they seem to be doing a little better this year, they just released the draw (3/14) and I received the schedule. The history of this tournament can be found on Wikipedia here.

Excellent, thanks for the update! Maybe my 2nd favorite team! Gotta love the USA!
Can’t wait for the games 🙂 Do you know when they will announce the US women’s team for the tournament?
I’m excited too! I hope they announce it soon, I’ve asked for the roster twice now! Will post as soon as I hear something.
