The famous Hong Kong Rugby Sevens, a gluttonous weekend of rugby, take place this weekend. Fans get to watch 24 teams play 57 14-minute matches (that's seven-minute halves, for you mathematicians scratching your heads) over three days. New Zealand is the heavy favorite to win the final, kicking off at 6:20 p.m. Sunday.

Here are the Friday and Saturday fixtures for China, Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei:

Friday, March 28
4:30 Australia v Hong Kong
4:52 Kenya v China
6:20 New Zealand v Chinese Taipei

Saturday, March 29
10:30 Tonga v Hong Kong
10:52 Scotland v China
12:20 USA v Chinese Taipei
2:54 France v Hong Kong
3:16 Portugal v China
4:44 Tunisia v Chinese Taipei

(Sunday's match-ups depend on the first two days' results)
