The motion
That this House congratulates the Scotland team for winning the HSBC World Sevens Series cup in London; notes that this was not only its first cup win since the Series started in 1999 but its first final appearance; commends the team’s spirit for the thrilling manner of victory in scoring two tries in the last 30 seconds to secure the win, and in particular the Man of the Match Dougie Fife, the scorer of both tries; salutes the work of Head Coach Calum MacRae and the performance of player of the tournament Damien Hoyland; wishes the team every success next season; recognises that rugby sevens was invented in Scotland; and is therefore pleased to note that rugby sevens is coming home.
