In the 1st match against Japan, the resilient Hong Kong side lost 52-3 where the only points for Hong Kong came from a Rob Naylor penalty. In the 2nd match between Hong Kong and Korea it was a fiery encounter but Korea were the top team with 23-5 win over the hosts. The only try came from HKFC winger Ricky Cheuk who received a brilliant cross field kick from HKCC's Colin Bisley.
