As Singapore gears up for the HSBC Singapore Rugby Sevens 2023, team captains gathered at historic Lau Pa Sat (Victorian era food complex) to try their hands at creating local favourites in celebration of, UNESCO recognised, Hawker Culture. From Teh Tarik (Pulled Tea) to Ice Kacang (Shaved Ice with syrup and condiments), the captains had a great time indulging in delicious treats and unwinding before intense preparation to dominate the pitch this 8 & 9 April inside the National Stadium at Singapore Sports Hub. While fans caught a glimpse of their favourite captains, all seven winners from the Ultimate Rugby Sevens Experience Contest got to interact with the captains in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Singapore edition is very unique, with its family vibe, ardent fans and a sporting spectacle with a spot at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at stake.”
