Jamaican bobsledders, the California Highway Patrol and Mormons

What do they all have in common? They're all to be found in the South Stand at the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens, plus a whole stand of cross dressers, cowboys and pirates to boot. Mark and I, and Alan, our first sevens guest, tried out three of the stands this year. South on the Friday amongst the flying jugs (empty at that stage but by Sunday the beer is flying), corporate hostility(thanks to DDB) on the Saturday with free flowing Pimms and Beer and amazing seats down on the touchline, and then up in the gods in the West stand with the families (and underage drinkers) on the Sunday. Billy got to play in the Under sevens tournament in front of a packed stadium on Friday afternoon, and enjoyed watching Hong Kong so nearly beat the French. Sadly England got beaten by Samoa but it was a great tournament all the same and I bumped into two old friends who I'd not seen for some 15 years which made my weekend, both now living in Asia as well.
