Standings
In the men’s tournament things are unbelievably tight, with Hong Kong leading the reigning champions Samurai by just a single point. Behind them are the Army and Scimitar Storm, a further seven and eight points behind respectively, with Apache a point further behind and Espana 7s Emerging one further adrift in sixth. However with 20 points awarded to the tournament winner, even China in seventh, 19 points behind Hong Kong, could theoretically claim the title.
