Sunday - HK 7's Finals Day

After a long day and night we crawled in for breakfast at the Club, in normal attire, and then went onto watch the finals of the 7's in the more sober but still very festive West Stand. A great day of rugby with Somoa winning the finals beating their rivals New Zealand. England did reasonably well being beaten in the semi finals by Samoa.

Cup Final:
Samoa 24-21 New Zealand

Cup semi-finals:
Fiji 21-33 New Zealand
Samoa 28-24 England

Cup quarter-finals:
Kenya 12-21 New Zealand
Fiji 14-12 South Africa
England 26-19 Australia
Samoa 24-7 USA







"Sweet Caroline" - featuring Alastair!


There was a really good parade in the middle of the day and a fine set of fireworks at the end. Just before the final presentation the crowds were also treated to a fuzzy suited streaker who climbed and danced on a pole, messed around with the game ball, bowed down to a security guard and ran past a few more guards.

Everything finished by 7.30pm after which we retired for a Team dinner at the Club and final drinks at the Jockey fro Jean, Hobey and me.....actually getting to bed by 11.00ish! In the mean time ali and his mates did another run at Lan Kwai Fong!
