The Rugby Sevens is organized by the Hong Kong Rugby Football Union and is held each year on the last weekend of March in Hong Kong, starting on Friday and concluding on Sunday. 24 teams from around the world participate. This year, Fiji beat New Zealand in the final match to win the tournament title.
Going to the Rugby Sevens is more an excuse to dress up in ridiculous costumes, drink pimm's at 10am and party with friends in the south stands for the day. I can guarantee that most of the people are not watching the Rugby match (except when France plays, which results in a lot of booing from the Brits).

There are no assigned seats in the south stands, so you must arrive by 9:30am to avoid the long line to get into the area. And be prepared for a rowdy crowd! The closer you are to the field, the higher probability drinks will be spilled on you from above.
