The South China Tigers is a professional rugby union team from Hong Kong that plays in the Global Rapid Rugby competition.[1]
The team was launched in 2018 to participate in the inaugural Global Rapid Rugby season.[2]
For the naming of the team, South China tigers are considered as the most distinctive of all tiger subspecies. The population once numbered more than 4,000 in the wild, distributed from Hunan, Jiangxi in the north to as far south as Hong Kong.[3]
