2026 ASIA RUGBY EMIRATES CHAMPIONSHIP WINNERS

On 7 June 2026, six Kowloon players wrapped up their international commitments with Hong Kong China as Asia Rugby Emirates Champions, the side having claimed a seventh consecutive title in this year's tournament.

Hong Kong China beat Korea 45-9 at Hong Kong Football Club to confirm the win, following an opening round victory over Sri Lanka in Colombo, 15-14, decided by a late try. Two contrasting results across the campaign, and the title stays in Hong Kong for another year.

Kowloon Players in the Squad

Six of our own were selected to represent Hong Kong throughout the campaign:

• 🇭🇰 Barney Horberry

• 🇭🇰 Dylan White

• 🇭🇰 Billy Ng

• 🇭🇰 Struan Main

• 🇭🇰 Oliver Clarke

• 🇭🇰 Ben Sheldon

  
  

Having this many players in the national squad is a good reflection of the playing standard coming through the club.

Lewis Wilson

Kowloon's men's head coach, Lewis Wilson, was selected to lead the Hong Kong China squad for the tournament. It's a notable achievement to take charge of a title winning campaign!

Congratulations to Lewis, Barney, Dylan, Billy, Struan, Oliver and Ben, and to the rest of the Hong Kong China squad and management on the result!
