Rugby Sevens

About:

Winning one of the last couplet of tournaments in Scotland and England meant the New Zealand Sevens team rounded off the season in style claiming their tenth series win. Their tournament win at the Scotland Sevens this year and a third place finish in London ensured they did enough to retain the top spot for a second year in succession.

The 2011/12 HSBC Sevens World Series included an added tournament in Tokyo, Japan and new tournament locations in South Africa, Scotland and Australia, all of which has helped make this seasons series one of the most exciting yet.

The New Zealand Sevens team

The New Zealand Sevens team claimed three tournament wins overall on their way to lifting the trophy, beating nearest rivals Fiji by just six points.

HSBC was announced as the first ever IRB Sevens World Series sponsor in October 2010. The investment marked the continuation of the bank's long standing commitment to rugby around the world from the British & Irish Lions Tour to the thousands of children who are introduced to rugby for the first time through HSBC's numerous community rugby programmes.

At London Sevens 2012:

The 2012 edition of the Marriott London Sevens, the new finale of the series, was packed full of fancy dress and funkiness as the 70's disco flavour came to South West London. HSBC customers and a friend were able to access an exclusive area, the 'HSBC Disco Lounge,' with a special 70's DJ, VIP view of the Funky Town giant screen so you couldn't miss any of the action, complimentary beverages and lots of 1970's goodies.

HSBC ambassadors Ben Foden, Jason Robinson and England Sevens star Christian Lewis-Pratt even appeared in the disco lounge for exclusive Q&A sessions twice a day on both days!
