Glasgow Sevens

Greetings all!

So what next? Well Scotstoun host the Glasgow Sevens and we thought it would be amazing if we could really make a statement and show ourselves proudly as Warrior Nation. The theme for the sevens this year is Movies, and wouldn't it be great to see lots of Warriors supporters dressed up as movie Warrior characters!

For the bold there is  Braveheart, a movie filled with historic Scottish Warriors or what about Gladiator and General Maximus Decimus Meridius or even a Viking from How to train your dragon or for the (very very) brave Spartans from 300! You could start that beach body diet a little early.

Get those creative juices flowing and help welcome the world to our home!
