AUSTRALIA WELCOMES SCOTLAND!

Parakeet

Kangaroos, galas & parakeets have been some of the wonderful sights to have greeted us on the first leg of our World Cup journey. 


All flights & transportation were completed by 0230 local time on 29th August, leaving the Scotland Rugby to spend Monday settling into its accommodation in Sanctuary Bay on Australia's Gold Coast.

Sanctuary Cove, 6am

Leaving a Scottish Summer for a wintertime elsewhere is not always a hardship when a sunny cloudless sky greets you in this manner on Day One.











A cursory trip to the pitches to view the state of the grass was also appropriate prior to a management run after lunch to blow some cobwebs away before the players do likewise tomorrow morning. 

Welcome to Sanctuary Cove for Scottish Rugby!

This starts our final phase of training prior to flying into New Zealand next week, and the opening match of our campaign the following weekend.
