Rugby Plus: Congratulating Glasgow 7s Champions & Competition Winner Callum Murray

Rugby Plus leading man David Brown was out and about last weekend soaking up the atmosphere (and the beer!) at the 2013 Emirates Airlines Glasgow 7s in Scotstoun stadium. Dave watched on as South Africa emerged winners of the cup, beating series champions New Zealand 28-21 in round 8. He was even lucky enough to congratulate the champions first hand!

Other winners of the day were USA winning the Plate, Australia winning the Bowl and France winning the shield. Scotland came a disappointing third in a difficult category, taking the victory in their first game against Portugal 26-5, losing to England 29-7 then suffering painful defeat at the hands of defending champions New Zealand, who won 28-0.

Dave was thrilled to have the chance to catch up with Callum Murray, the lucky winner of our most recent Facebook competition, over the weekend. In association with the SRU, Rugby Plus gave Callum two tickets to last weekend’s tournament. Callum, a physical education student based in Stirling, had a blast, and it was a real treat for the Rugby Plus to meet such a dedicated young rugby fan. We look forward to updates from Callum as he embarks on an IDEALS (International Development Through Excellence and Leadership in Sport) initiative in Zambia in the summer, introducing touch rugby to children out there.

On 26^th May, Callum is running in the Edinburgh half marathon – look out for him in his Rugby Plus t-shirt. Lots of luck from all of us at Rugby Plus Callum!
