Cumbernauld kids get rugby try-out
THE national team's battering by the All Blacks at Murrayfield recently made it clear that Scottish rugby is still far behind the traditional powerhouses of the game.
However, two recent events, each attended by groups of Cumbernauld youngsters, are proof that the sport really does have a bright future.
At the first, Scottish rugby legend Gavin Hastings was on hand to offer his advice to pupils from Cumbernauld High who were attending the 'Magnificent Sevens' schools tag rugby festival.
More than 50 Cumbernauld secondary pupils in S1 and 2 also took part in a Rugby Development Day at Broadwood Stadium.
