The value of touring is well documented, offering an opportunity of a life time for pupils to experience other countries and cultures, and playing against top opposition.
Our senior rugby tour forms an integral part of the whole school rugby programme and our rugby history. The tradition and ethos of our senior rugby tour has always been to give every pupil playing rugby the opportunity to go on tour. For over twenty years Canada & Italy were the favoured destinations, with the last four senior tours having ventured to South Africa. In the summer of 2013 the school will depart to New Zealand for the first time in the school’s history.
