The international movement, which helps raise funds for and awareness of prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health and suicide prevention, is no stranger to Hong Kong’s men and women.

This year, the Hong Kong Rugby Union Community Foundation has partnered with Phenomenally Pink (the combined campaign is known as Phenomenally Mo) as well as Protect Your Ball from Pink October. In honour of these rugby lads, we selected an extensive jury to pick the best cookie dusters and caterpillars, along with their nicknames of course.
