As part of the build-up to August 27, the first day of the first term at Malvern College Hong Kong, the school organised a “rugby experience day” in late March to introduce incoming and prospective students to the basics of the game.
Led by coaches from the Hong Kong Rugby Union, two action-packed sessions for boys and girls aged five to 12 taught the essentials of handling, passing, positioning and support play, with the emphasis on fun and getting everyone involved.
