After the Party, a Pandemic Hangover

Jonah Lomu best summed up the unique appeal of the Hong Kong Sevens: “If you get bored, turn around and watch the rugby!” The late All Blacks icon adored the tournament, memorably returning to take part (and triumph, for a third time) in the 1996 edition when he was the most famous sportsman on the planet following his exploits at the previous year’s Rugby World Cup. Certainly, it’s a party like no other.
