Rugby World Cup, Schools Tournament

Last week we took a group of 12 budding rugby players from the Gateway Base to Weymouth and Portland Rugby Club for an Inter-Schools Tournament.


To mark the start of the 2015 Rugby World Cup, teams were encourage to dress in the colours of a nation  (we were given France) and perform any pre-match rituals; needless to say we were treated to a fantastic version of The Haka, but that didn't intimidate Team IPACA one bit! Winning our first game and then drawing our second against St Georges (Australia) . Sadly, we missed out on winning our Pool by 2 point.


In the pouring rain, we went on to play a friendly game against Conifers (All Blacks) which we comfortably won!


The students performed fantastically well and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
