The Hong Kong 7s kicks off in less than 10 hours at the So Kon Po stadium in Hong Kong.

The 24 teams taking part have only one aim in mind and that is to win.

However, all team captains were brought together yesterday in one common knowledge, when they put their signatures on the “biggest ball” ever that will be auctioned during the tournament.

Tournament Director Warwick Dent said that all proceeds that will be collected from the auction will be directed to the funds to help assist victims from the earthquake in Christchurch and in Japan.
