Michaelhouse UK 7's Rugby Tour 2023

As part of the Bicentennial celebrations, the Michaelhouse 7’s team made the pilgrimage to the very patch of grass where it all began, in order to compete against 20 teams from 11 different nations for highest honours in the Rugby School International U18 Sevens Tournament.
After 2 gruelling days of showstopping rugby, facing some of the finest opposition the world has to offer, coach James Fleming & his Michaelhouse team went on to claim victory by defeating Irish side, Blackrock College 21-19 in the Cup final.
To the Old Boys & parents who were able to make it to Rugby School, your support meant the world!
Thank You.
