Hong Kong won their first ever International Test!

32-20. It was a tense game. And the Japanese were very determined and dangerous.

Really proud of the team and the East Asia Cup will certainly develop into a successful and well regarded competition.

Great win by the Thunder.

The wait is over after 6 years away from the international scene due to COVID we are pleased to announce our squad that has been selected to travel over to Japan and battle it out for the East Asia Cup!

From HKRL Chairman Jason Yip - “We've selected a squad of mainly domestic based players with 12 International debuts and only 2 heritage players who have not competed in our domestic competitions which shows our commitment to building the sport locally”

Congratulations to all who have been selected!

Hong Kong are backing up their recent trip to Japan with one to the Philippines this December.

Really exciting to see HK kick on and Asian rugby league continue to build. The lure of a rep jersey is vital for support, players and sponsors.
