New Zealand 7s visit the Gaelic School


3 of the world's most successful rugby 7s team came to visit the Glasgow Gaelic School. The players were greeted by a enthusiastic crowd of pupils and staff. The players were greeted by some traditional Scottish music thanks to the S2 boys band. The players then got to see the Primary pupils perform their own Gaelic School Haka which was fantastic. The NZ 7s then opened the floor for some questions from the pupils and they were grilled on everything from diet to training to who would win in an arm wrestle. The S2 Boys rugby 7s team then got to take on the NZ 7s team for the audience which was a great experience for the rugby squad. Finally the NZ 7s signed 100s of autographs and took a number of photos for pupils, staff and did interviews for the various broadcasting companies that were their filming including BBC Scotland, BBC Alba and SkySports. A big thank you to the NZ 7s for visiting our school, your visit was very inspiring to our pupils. Hopefully we will have a good number of rugby enthusiasts coming through the ranks at Sgoil Ghaidhlig Ghlaschu.
