The Hong Kong China men’s and women’s sevens squads selected for the Melrose Claymores competition at the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2025 (28-30 March) were announced today.

Today’s squad announcements were also marked by a special honours ceremony for those players to have represented Hong Kong China in an international sevens tournament, earning a rugby ‘cap’ in recognition of their sporting achievement.

There were wild scenes of celebration on the victory dais as Argentina men toasted the opening of the brand-new Kai Tak Stadium with their first-ever Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens title on Sunday.

Los Pumas overcame France 12-7, holding their opponents off during a tense opening period before turning on the style in the second half.

For coach Santiago Gómez Cora it was a win that was a long time coming, given he’d played when Argentina lost to England in the Hong Kong Sevens final of 2004. But the look on his face – and noise from his players as they sang and they danced – told how much it meant to everyone involved.

“It was one of my dreams, to win this one,” he said. “When you talk about sevens it’s all about Hong Kong. When you win here as a coach or a player it is like nothing else.”

Earlier the all-conquering New Zealand women had made it three Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens titles in row as they rallied to overcome their arch-rivals Australia 26-19 – and it was for captain Sarah Hirini a sense of mission accomplished.
