It’s a big weekend for numbers in Nathan Hirayama’s world.

Canada’s rugby sevens playmaker is set for a pair of milestones: when he runs out at the famed Hong Kong Stadium on Friday night against Kenya, he’ll be marking his 50th tournament appearance on the World Rugby Sevens Series.

That’s a big achievement: only two Canadians have passed the half-century mark. Phil Mack, who retired from sevens last year, played in 52 tournaments and John Moonlight, who hit the milestone earlier this season in Cape Town and will captain Canada this weekend, has played in 54.

And here’s more: the first points Hirayama records this weekend will put him at the top of Canada’s all-time scoring list.

There, he’s tied with Mack on 973 points. Last time out in Vancouver, he could have passed his long-time teammate. At home, that would have a great moment.

That it will happen in Hong Kong is nearly as special. It’s the crown jewel on the sevens circuit after all.
