Reaction from the teams and also some of the famous faces enjoying the atmosphere at the Hong Kong Sevens.
Day two reaction
Pavel Baronovsky, Russia coach (reached first ever Cup quarter final)
"I am always proud of my team, our ultimate wish was to qualify for the Cup quarter finals here. We've been working hard and training hard, specifically for this tournament, our problem has been keeping a consistent squad together, otherwise I think we might have done even better so far.
"Hong Kong is a superb place, a superb tournament, and it has a very special place in our hearts because it was the first World Series tournament that Russia ever participated in."
Stephen Betham, Samoa coach
"We're happy with the results but we've got to step it up another notch tomorrow, it's do or die tomorrow and we need to give our best right from the start.
"Alafoti's a special player (Alafoti Fa'osiliva scored his 100th try), for a player of big size he's got a lot of speed. He's very important to us, it's one of our strengths to have Alafoti and Ofisa (Treviranus) to push the ball forward for us and give us a lot of front foot ball."
Gordon Tietjens, NZ coach
"The benefits of playing here in Hong Kong, you'll never take that away from these young boys that I had out there, and they played pretty well. It was a pretty good French performance and we did well to finish 19-7, a great game, and going into tomorrow we've got a couple of injury concerns so a couple of those guys might have to stand up."
Paul Treu, South Africa coach
"I think that we can be happy as a team, especially the way we executed our gameplan against Wales. We had some moments in that match that we really practiced back at home almost on a daily basis and to see those things coming off on a day like this can make any coach happy. The real business starts tomorrow morning so we'll wait and see who we play.
"To see a real youngster like Tshotsho Mbovane getting his first try on the board, those are the kind of moments that we want to give our players and I'm just glad that he took the opportunity.
"It's tough because we're down to 10 players and for the guys to come out every time and give that kind of performance speaks volumes for their character and for the character of the team and hopefully they can keep going with the momentum going into day two.
"We're going to do the same things tomorrow that we've done here over the past two days and the same that we did in Vegas, try to keep our composure, try to stay in control of the game and keep our focus for the entire 14 minutes and hopefully that will give us a chance."
Day one reaction
Natham Hirayama, Canada (on beating Argentina and Canada winning the women's Cup)
"Great day for all of us. Men's and women's, we just watched the girls win their final and we are all pretty stoked about that and we are really happy with how things went against Argentina and hope it can carry on tomorrow.
"Obviously everyone knows Argentina is a great team and we had to play pretty well to beat them. We were focussed on what we had to do before the game and lucky enough we pulled it off.
"It is going to be tough against Australia but we have done it before so why not do it again tomorrow. It's awesome [the crowd], I wish I was in the South Stand having a good time myself."
Justin Marshall, former All Black
"It's always been a big event, Hong Kong. It's the one that everyone targets, it's the cornerstone."
George Gregan, former Wallaby, 1999 World Cup winner, 139 tests (world record)
"I played Sevens at the beginning of my career and I came here to Hong Kong in 1994 and 1995, which was just a great experience as a young international to have that intense an experience over a short period of time, so it's great to be back."
Lawrence Dallaglio, former England captain, 2003 World Cup-winner
"I was lucky enough to play Sevens when I was a little younger, a little fitter and a little bit quicker and I was lucky enough to play here in 1995 for the Hong Kong President's XII and it's an event that I really enjoy."
David Campese, former Wallaby, 1991 World Cup-winner
"1983 was my first time here and it's a great tournament and I think this is my 25th year here and I love just being here, coming back each time and seeing the crowd. It's great for these guys to travel the world and experience countries they'd never normally see."
Glen Ella, former Wallaby, four-time Hong Kong Sevens winner
I played here several years and was lucky enough to win it four times and win the plate once and it's been fantastic. I played with some great Wallabies and against players who went on to be international superstars, so I have fond memories. In all I've been here 26 or 27 times and I want to come back every year.
Henry Paul, former England Sevens, four-time Hong Kong Sevens winner
"I love Hong Kong. It feels a bit strange being here and not being one of the players. In my time we won in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006 but now I'm just a bit of a spectator, which is a bit weird but nice sitting back and looking at the other side of the coin.
"Now I realise to win the Hong Kong Sevens you have to keep the team in a bit of a bubble, you have to keep them together, you can't get too lost in the excitement. You almost have to keep the team away from it.
"This tournament is massive with the 30 points and luckily for England there is a lot of support for them out there, which is a huge motivating factor, like an eighth man out there with them."
