THE annual Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament will kick off this weekend without China competing as the team lost several key matches last season and failed to qualify.
Twenty-eight teams will compete in the event.
The Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2013 has been broken up into two competitions.
The HSBC Sevens World Series (HSBC SWS) competition features 15 national teams and Hong Kong, the Asian Sevens champion. There will also be a 12-team qualifying competition to determine the entrants for the final HSBC SWS event at the London Sevens in May.
The move to 28 teams is the first increase in the Hong Kong Sevens field since the 24-team standard was adopted in 1984.
