Asia Rugby Sevens Series 2024 Leg 2 China 7s
The China 7s is the second leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series 2024 which takes place in Hangzhou, from 21-22 September at the Hangzhou Normal University.
Both the China women and Hong Kong China men won the opening round in Korea and all of the 16 sides will be looking to jostle for positions as each national team has its own goals whether it’s winning the title, the leg, or staying up in the ARSS for 2025.
The format again sees the top 8 men’s and women’s Asian national teams competing. The bottom team from each is relegated to the Trophy Series and the winners of that comp (to be played in Nepal) will earn promotion to ARSS 2025.
