Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens

Fiji take fifth consecutive title in Hong Kong

Over the course of three scintillating days of action, Gareth Baber's side enthralled the crowd as they achieved something that no other side has ever been able to do. 

In the Cup final, Jerry Tuwai, who is the only current player to have played in all four of the finals, pulled the strings majestically while Aminiasi Tuimaba scored a brace and Vilimoni Botitu also crossed for a try. 

After their silver medal in Vancouver, France were playing in their second consecutive Cup final in a season which is something that they hadn't achieved before.

As well as the sold-out 16-team HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series 2018 main event running across three days from Friday-Sunday, two qualifier events will also run parallel to the core competition.

Twelve teams will battle it out in the men's world series qualifier, with the winner taking the prestigious prize of core team status for 2019. The same applies in the women's qualifier competition, played across Thursday and Friday, with a core team spot on the HSBC World Rugby Women's Sevens Series 2019 up for grabs.
