INTERNATIONAL RUGBY

Pupils from Braidhurst High School attended Scotland’s Autumn International Rugby Test against Japan at Murrayfield Stadium on Saturday 9th November. They began the day by soaking up the atmosphere around the ground waiting on the match to begin. Scotland got off to a slow start but gradually took control as the match progressed and they comfortably won 42-17. The highlight from the Braidhurst pupils had to be Scotland’s first try, which was scored only metres away from where they were sitting.

Pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience and left with an appreciation of the physical requirements needed for this sport.
