HEAD of rugby Andy Goldsmith is backing Bloxham School to impress at the 75th anniversary of the Rosslyn Park HSBC National Schools Sevens next week.
Bloxham are entering three teams into the tournament, which starts on Monday.
“We had quite a successful XVs season, the under 13 team went unbeaten apart from the last game in the knockout cup,†he said.
“The under 16s lost just one match all season too while the under 18s only lost four. We’re hoping we can translate that into a good showing at the Rosslyn Park Sevens tournament.
“Rosslyn Park is the No 1 tournament, anyone who is anyone goes there. It’s great for the youngsters to experience that type of tournament.
“There are some very tough groups but whatever happens, I am confident we will give a good account of ourselves.â€
