Hong Kong and Singapore Sevens postponed

World Rugby, the Hong Kong Rugby Union and Sport Singapore have taken the decision to reschedule the Hong Kong and Singapore rounds of the 2020 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in response to continued health concerns relating to the Novel Coronavirus outbreak.

The health and safety of our players, fans and everyone working on the event is always our highest priority. This prudent decision has been taken in order to help protect the global rugby community and the wider public and was taken based on the World Health Organisation and relevant public authority travel and health guidelines.

The decision is fully supported by stakeholders, including unions and commercial partners.

Both events will be rescheduled to conclude the 2020 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series with the HSBC Singapore Sevens - where the Blitzboks will be defending the title they won in 2019 - now taking place on 10-11 October and the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens completing the series on 16-18 October.

Hong Kong and Singapore will host 2021 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series tournaments as per usual in April.

Fans who have purchased tickets for Singapore and Hong Kong via official channels are advised that their tickets will be honoured for the rescheduled events and a full refund will be provided in the event fans are unable to attend the rescheduled events.
