Anyone know where to get those lycra rugby shorts (worn under the rugby uniform shorts) in HK?

I would try Escapade Sports.
Gigasports stock the Adidas and Nike compression garments.
As mentioned above Escapade Sports has other brands as well, but expect to pay a bit more than the usual brands, but you get what you pay for.
Another option is the Hong Kong Football Club equipment store.
If you want the best stuff, then go for 2XU which you could also mail order from wiggle.com If you just want lycra shorts, they would be at least half the price of the proper compression shorts, then try the sports brand like Nike, Adidas etc... You can buy without a membership card at the HKFC and it's about the same price as Escapade but less choice and not often on sale.
There's also a new tri shop in Happy Valley http://tribalsport.hk/ which has compression wear and it was a few dollar cheaper last time I checked. It's operated by one of the leading HK triathlete Andrew Wright

Thanks a lot !
If you want 2XU I wouldnt recommend it for rugby use, it isnt that durable.
If you are going to go along the lines of ordering online, the best value is going for the under armour stuff.. its very durable and works out a lot cheaper than the alternatives we get here.
I haven't had any durability problems with 2XU stuff but I take care of it properly(rinse after use and hand wash) and I usually wear a layer over...
Under Armour is definitely cheaper but it doesn't have the same kind of compression that 2XU does. Mind you, in my opinion, it really doesn't matter much on a pair of shorts so I don't think it's worth paying the extra for those. For long tights, I believe it is...
