Wonderful memories of sevens rugby.

I still have the T Shirt!
I attended at the HKFC stadium after running the first China Coast Marathon won by Ron Hill in a time of 2:34:35.
Ron described it as the toughest marathon he had ever run.
Organiser Andy Blunier neglected to tell guest of honour runner Ron that it was NOT a flat course!

Forwards
Finau, Ratudradra, Lutumailagi(?)

I think this was the year after the pitch flooded and tries were scored by surfing in from the 5 yard line!

If you have this footage to put up it would be great.
Some of us playing at that time are just seeing this.

It's 1981, the Barbarians went on to beat Australia in the Final...

[@antoineduval2616]

Can’t be 1980, the weather was awful this year. It looks like 1981 when they moved to the Football Club

[@charlesyeomans]

It was indeed 1981 as I am in the team and arrived late 1980
