It’s been sometime since my last post and for good reason. I write now off the back of a very busy first quarter and Singapore’s 12th outing to the Hong Kong Women’s Rugby 7s 2010. The women’s competition ended with a repeat of last year’s final between Chinese and the Australians with the latter emerging worthy winners of a game in the Hong Kong Stadium before crowds some of us can only dream of.
One has never really been to “the Sevens” unless one has been to Hong Kong. Since I first stepped into the Hong Kong Stadium in 2001, I, along with thousands have been entertained by Waseli Serevi, thrilled by Karl Tenana, witnessed the exhilarating partnership of Simon Amor and Ben Gollings. To see close up the beauty of the game in its abbreviated format, every year 40,000 people must be wondering when the rest of the world might catch on.
Well, at last they may - in 2016.And with such a mammoth event for the game of rugby, I am celebrating but not reveling, jumping but not leaping.
