Hong Kong have named a squad of 29 players to face South Korea in the Asia Rugby Championship final.

The July 9th decider in Incheon will be Hong Kong's first Test since 2019. Hong Kong's Lewis Evans will be making his test match coaching debut.

The winner of Asian final advances to a one-off test against Tonga in late July. The winner of that match will directly qualify for the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The losing side will have to go through an international play-off.

Earlier this month, South Korea thrashed Malaysia 55-10 in Incheon.

The initial Hong Kong squad includes sevens veteran Jack Neville and hooker Alex Post who was recently named man of the match in the Oxford versus Cambridge game.
