Hong Kong China Rugby Dragons Teams Announced For Kai Tak Stadium Showcase Matches

The women’s and men’s Hong Kong China Rugby Dragons will compete in exhibition showcase matches before the Hong Kong China vs Japan XV match at Kai Tak Main Stadium on Friday, 24 October. 

The Dragons programme is a local performance development initiative dedicated to nurturing rugby talent in Hong Kong, which was established in 1990 by George Simpkins and re-launched in 2025.

The Dragons Programme aims to enhance player development and create pathways from community rugby to high-performance levels.

Former HKCR Men’s player Salom Yiu Kam Shing leads the Men’s Dragons Programme. He said, “The Dragons Men’s Showcase match will test high-potential local players that we have identified so far in the programme. This includes talented players that we have scouted across Premiership Clubs, selected Championship Clubs and our local collegiate programmes.”

Of playing in front of a crowd at Kai Tak, he added, “Competing at Kai Tak is a major milestone for all players on the programme. The facilities and match atmosphere will allow young players to experience a high-tempo game and develop skills of pressure-management, as well as giving them an opportunity to prove themselves to the coaching and selection staff.”

Former HKCR Women’s XVs (and RWC player) Royce Chan heads the Women’s Dragons Program.

She said, “The Dragons Women’s Showcase squads represent a diverse range of ages and club experiences, with most players invited based on their performance in our Women’s Development Group (WDG) last season.

Already in this relatively new programme we have seen success, with a player recently called up for training with the Senior XVs, and five players who have transitioned from community rugby to Premiership and Premiership A Clubs,” added Chan.

The matches will be used to assess the player’s current form, and the hope is to have players progress into future Hong Kong China players, with the women hoping to make a return to the Rugby World Cup, which they previosuly reached in 2017.
