Saturday 11 August sees the start of Hong Kong’s most eagerly anticipated tag rugby tournament, the 2018 Super League. Last year’s winners – Tag Buffaloos – will be back and raring to go after narrowly missing the finals at the HKTag Challenge title earlier this year.
HKTag Super League runs consecutively across three weekends, in a series of pooled matches, culminating in the deciders on Saturday 25 August. All teams will play at least once on every match-day Saturday.
The tournament features eight teams, each with a squad size of 15 people. Stay tuned to find out more about each of our teams and get ready for the pool draw end of July!
