	Ivan Torpey â“ Hong Kong's Sevens mastermind :: Hong Kong - GeoExpat.Com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		That was, you understand, the world’s hottest rugby sevens competition in terms of air temperature – played in Darwin during north Australia’s scorching summer, but for Hong Kong it was an important part of the preparations for the main event, the world cup.
		Hong Kong is not a member of this circuit, which meant Torpey had to devise a schedule that would include the necessary match experience, to hone players’ skills, and test different combinations of players and strategies.
		While top sevens teams like New Zealand and Fiji – both drawn in Hong Kong’s pool this year - comprise professionals, who are playing and training with club sides even when not with their national teams, all Hong Kong team members have full-time jobs.
