The World Schools Festival will see eight of the globe’s strongest age-grade sides take to the field in a bid to see who is the best in the world. The eagerly-awaited tournament will take place at the Pattana Sports Resort in Thailand from the 12th to the 17th of December. There will also be a four-team Open Trophy competition being played alongside it.

Sedbergh have long been considered as one of the best schools in England – if not the world – for their rugby program. The Cumbria-based side have brought through many international players over the years, including the likes of Will Greenwood, Josh Hodge and Cam Redpath.

    The northerners will take on Millfield, Grey College, Hamilton Boys’ and St Michael’s College, schools that represent four of the top rugby nations on the planet.

    Sedbergh recently beat elite Irish rugby outfit Blackrock College in a pulsating match which ended 25-24.

    The victory continued the side’s unbeaten run so far in the season, winning five out of five.

    Will the school be able to maintain this record when they take on some of the best rugby sides from around the world in December?

    An Open tournament running alongside the main cup competition at the World Schools Festival will see some of the most promising sides from across the globe take part. Rugby Travel Academy from South Africa and Odyssey XV are the first sides announced in the Open competition.

    Founder of Rugby Travel Academy, Len Olivier, commented: “We believe the opportunity this Festival offers of travelling abroad, playing and meeting teams from all over the world, an invaluable experience for our players. The Open Trophy competition format still provides all players the chance to have an unforgettable rugby experience.”

    Much has been made about who will come out on top in the main cup of the World Schools Festival.

    In the previous iteration of the competition, Grey College resoundingly beat all the opponents put in their way. One of the most noteworthy victories was a 60-0 whitewash over Harpury College, one of the best academy teams in England.

    Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

    My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
