A rangy forward who represents Hong Kong at both 15s and sevens, Nick is originally from New Zealand. He has been playing competitively in Hong Kong since 2005 and has recently become one of Hong Kong’s full-time rugby athletes in the Hong Kong Sports Institute’s sevens programme.

We stuck the yardstick out and poked it in the ground. We now know the level we need to get to and we will be better for having the first game under our belts.

The first test is done and dusted and and the theme from that game unfortunately is "opportunity lost". Not only in terms of the end result of the game, but also in terms of what was happening out on the field.

Apart from the fantastic result and grabbing a 1-0 advantage in the two-test series, Hong Kong’s players took away a number of other significant benefits from that opening Belgium test match.

With the closing of a successful HSBC Asian Sevens Series for Hong Kong, the lads’ focus now turns to the 15-a-side game and, with this in mind, players who have been competing and training as part of the sevens set-up are now returning to their clubs and making a complete change in how they view and perform on the park.
