HONG KONG RUGBY SEVENS 2011
25-27 MARCH 2011
From £989 (plus match ticket)
The popularity of the Hong Kong 7's just keeps on growing, especially with England's success in recent years. Hong Kong is one of the world's most exciting holiday destinations and the sevens party lasts the whole weekend, as do the hangovers!
This is a great event that all rugby fans should experience once in a lifetime…if not more, so why not put the date in your diary and join us in the Far East in 2011.
We have some great rates with Virgin Atlantic for next year so make sure you grab one of our 'Early Bird' deals as we have a limited number of seats avialble at these prices. Upgrade to Virgin's Premium Economy cabin from just £895 return - this price can only go up as interest grows.
