Sevens, Fever, Rages

Expected results with favorites Fiji, England and New Zealand winning over the tournament minnows as the Cathay Pacific-Credit Suisse Hong Kong Sevens games were in full blast. Despite strong crowd support for the hosts, Hong Kong was still unable to capitalize scoring a single point as it appeared happless against England, 0-52. Singapore also got the same humiliation with a 0-52 bludgeoning from New Zealand. Fiji cruised to a 52-7 win over Madagascar.

In a game of big and quick men, it's obvious that the South Pacific islanders have the edge, as shown in their performance in the recent outings.

Hong Kong Sevens merchandise sold at an average cost of around HK$ 250 (shirts, jackets, replica ball, dvd, etc) were selling like hotcakes at the basement of Landmark in Central. Zandro was lucky to squeak with one; Jay was not as lucky finding the right shirt size.

I do not monitor the games but I still lean on Fiji to win the title.
