Pete Horne’s Sevens Tour Diary: Port Elizabeth
After what was a great tournament in Dubai again we were up at the crack of dawn (6.00am) to fly to Port Elizabeth in South Africa for Leg 3.

Peter Horne’s Sevens Tour Diary: Dubai
Dubai
We landed in Dubai bright and early around seven am and of course the first thing anyone really wanted to do was hit the hay and catch some zzzz. However, no rest for the wicked and to try and avoid any jet lag we were instructed to stay awake all day, this proved rather difficult, especially for one Michael Fedo who was found later that morning by roommate James Eddie fast asleep.

Day 2
Day Two started a tad earlier so we were up and away to the ground before we had much time to think. This wasn’t a bad thing as we focused in straight away on the task at hand: a big Polynesian side from the tiny island of Niue.
Peter Horne’s Sevens Diary Part 1
We got out to the Gold Coast nice and early which allowed for plenty of time to overcome the jet lag and stretch the legs. Our first week was spent in some nice self catering apartments, room 1 was the dream team super 6 from Glasgow (myself, Colin Gregor, Ross Miller, James Eddie, Sean Kennedy and Adam Ashe) and room two consisted of the ‘other’ 6 (Andy Turnbull, Scott Riddell, Michael Fedo, Struan Dewar, James Fleming and Sam Hidalgo-Clyne). The apartments were in a fantastic location, a minute’s walk from training facilities and the supermarket.
