香港七人欖球賽50週年慶典於周五在啟德體育園凱德體育場拉開帷幕，數千名化裝球迷儘管陰雨天氣仍處於派對氛圍。首次來港觀賽者對5萬座體育場表示驚嘆，去年食物短缺問題似已解決。
香港七人欖球賽50週年版於啟德體育園凱德體育場開賽，球迷早於上午10時30分便湧入以派對氛圍聞名的南看台。
澳洲25歲首次來港的Tara McClintock與七名友人化裝成2004年喜劇《Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story》中的「Average Joes」。她表示：「這體育場比澳洲任何地方都好，是我見過最好的。」
附近另一群澳洲人Jim Gaha與八名友人身穿印有其侄子——澳洲男子隊隊長Henry Hutchison頭像的恤衫，同樣在中午前已進入派對模式。
儘管有琥珀雨暴警告，觀眾對新場地讚不絕口，去年食物短缺問題亦未重現，為三日賽事增添喜慶。
