[edit] Tournament Sponsors

Just because people who live in Hong Kong are ignorant of the fact that the official current title of the sevens tournament is Cathay Pacific/Credit Suisse Hong Kong Sevens, doesn't mean that it is not so. Many people in the home unions are unaware that the official title of the Six Nations Championship is the RBS 6 Nations, however, their ignorance on this point does nothing to change the fact that it is so. See below for a screenshot of the official home page of the HOng Kong Sevens found at hksevens.com:

Also, if we look at the Credit Suisse webpage, we will find that they are indeed co-title sponsors of the Hong Kong Sevens. That means that officially their name appears in the name of the tournament. --Bob 23:29, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


You obviously work for one of these companies. Sponsors come and go. The title Hong Kong sevens doesn't. If we had to reference every sporting even with it's sponsor we'd be here forever. It's the HK sevens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Willis999 (talk • contribs)

We already do. --Bob 10:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A developing ground for young players

I added a section entitled, a developing ground for young players, I hope this is okay. I also referenced the History of Hong Kong Sevens website, where a similar paragraph appears.

[edit] The 1981 Barbarians team

Who was in it? Was it a UK team, or a British Isles team or even just an English team? So far I can find references to: Andy Ripley Les Cusworth Peter Wheeler Clive Woodward Paul Christensen (talk) 04:22, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
