To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Hong Kong Sevens, the HKRFU have selected the best of the best a Magnificent 7… The first inductee into this singular sevens roll of honour is China’s Mr Rugby, Zhang Zhiqiang, who holds the all-time record for tries scored (25) in Hong Kong since the inception of the HSBC Sevens World Series in 2000. Zhang added 43 conversions for a total of 211 points in a glittering career at the Hong Kong Stadium.

Known in Hong Kong as ‘Johnny Zhang’, Zhang played at the Sevens on ten occasions and coached China in Hong Kong on another five. He also led China to their only silverware at the Hong Kong Sevens when they won the Bowl in 2006.

Appearing as a special guest of the HKRFU at the Official Draw for the 2015 Cathay Pacific / HSBC Hong Kong Sevens on 16 February Zhang said, “To be named in the Magnificent 7 of the Hong Kong Sevens is the greatest rugby honour in my life.”
