Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:National rugby union

Hong Kong Rugby Union (HKRU) is the governing body for rugby union in Hong Kong. It was founded in 1952 and became affiliated to World Rugby (then known as the International Rugby Board) in 1988.[1] It organises and oversees local rugby, including the annual Hong Kong Sevens tournament and the HKRU Premierships.

History

In November 2022, Glory to Hong Kong was played after a match between the teams from South Korea and Hong Kong.[2] The HKRU said "The HKRU expressed its extreme dissatisfaction at this occurrence and has received a full explanation of the circumstances that led to this. Whilst we accept this was a case of human error it was nevertheless not acceptable."[2] Media reported that the local organizer had earlier asked each team for a copy of their anthems to play at the competition, but the Hong Kong team did not submit one.[3]

Later in November 2022, the head of HKRU, Robbie McRobbie, said new rules that dictate athletes should correct organizers if the national anthem is played incorrectly were reasonable and practical.[4]
