A Warm Welcome to Coleg Gwent Crosskey

Wednesday, 6 July 2011

This Welsh 1st XV team is in NZ on a rugby tour and will be attending an IRANZ clinic at the Sport & Recreation Institute in Palmerston North.

The clinic will be facilitated by specialist coaches Jon Preston, Dion Waller and Dave Ellis.

On Monday, the team played Scots College 1st XV in Wellington and had a great win. After some sight seeing they will make their way to Palmerston North for the IRANZ clinic.

Following on from the clinic, they will head to Feilding to play the Feilding High School 1st XV and will be hosted by local families.

Then it's on to Taupo and Rotorua for further sight seeing and to experience some real Kiwi culture. From here, they will head to Hamilton and play St. Pauls Collegiate 1st XV.

From Hamilton, they head to Auckland and will meet Orewa College 1st XV.

But it's not quite over yet! The next day will see them jumping on a plane heading to Hong Kong, where they stop for a day of sight seeing before heading home to the UK.

Good luck guys and we hope you have a fabulous time in New Zealand, and also gain some great exposure to the NZ way of playing rugby!
