All 12 players made an impact on-field, with captain Scott Forrest leading by example and happy with the outcome. He said: “We played well today and didn’t give India many chances to test their attacking skills against us. Some good tries were scored and it was good for us all to get a run in the midday heat and start testing ourselves for the competition ahead.” Match gallery Scotland 7s took to the field against India at the weekend in a warm-up match and looked confident as they overpowered the hosts in three seven minute sessions.

He said: “We played well today and didn’t give India many chances to test their attacking skills against us. Some good tries were scored and it was good for us all to get a run in the midday heat and start testing ourselves for the competition ahead.” Scotland will face New Zealand, Canada and Guyana on the opening day to determine the cross-over matches and ultimate medal winners on day two. Match gallery Forrest continued: “We are all really looking forward to playing our three matches on the opening day of competition and see it as a huge honour to be part of Team Scotland.” The training venue of Hindu College was in first class condition and the team are well looked after by the staff and volunteers on site. Head coach Stephen Gemmell, said: “Today was important for the guys to experience match intensity at this heat because it is completely different to anything back home. India were physical and challenged us in the way the Guyana and Canada will do. If you give them the ball, they are going to be dangerous.” While other teams in the sevens competition have opted to hold training camps in other countries before arriving in Delhi nearer competition date, Scotland wanted plenty of time to adjust to local conditions and also allow the players maximum opportunity to experience the Games. Gemmell continued: “Our players have a lot of World Series experience but it’s now about trying to get them to as a team and being in the Village really creates the right atmosphere. We’re mixing with world-class athletes from Team Scotland and other countries and it is an unbelievable experience. Results have shown that our players perform best in familiar surroundings so the longer we have here, the better we think it will be for us.” Scotland 7s 12-man squad Mike Adamson, Alex Blair, Scott Forrest, Chris Fusaro, John Houston, Lee Jones, Stuart McInally, Scott Newlands, Hefin O’Hare, Colin Shaw, Andrew Turnbull, Scott Riddell Commonwealth Games, Rugby Sevens Pools (ALL TIMES ARE LOCAL, Delhi is 4 hours 30mins ahead of BST)Pool A: Canada, Guyana, New Zealand, Scotland Pool B: India, South Africa, Tonga, Wales Pool C: Kenya, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Samoa Pool D: Australia, England, Sri Lanka, Uganda Day one: Monday 11 October 10.06am – Scotland v Guyana 1.12pm – Scotland v Canada 5.32pm – New Zealand v Scotland Day two: Tuesday 12 October 9am (match 25) – Bowl Quarter-final – 3rd Pool A v 4th Pool B 9.22am (match 26) – Bowl Quarter-final – 3rd Pool D v 4th Pool C 9.44am (match 27) – Bowl Quarter-final – 3rd Pool C v 4th Pool D 10.06am (match 28) – Bowl Quarter-final – 3rd Pool B v 4th Pool A 10.38am (match 29) – Cup Quarter-final – 1st Pool A v 2nd Pool B 11am (match 30) – Cup Quarter-final – 1st Pool D v 2nd Pool C 11.22am (match 31) – Cup Quarter-final – 1st Pool C v 2nd Pool D 11.44am (match 32) – Cup Quarter-final – 1st Pool B v 2nd Pool A 1pm (match 33) – Bowl Semi-final – Winner Match 25 v Winner Match 26 1.22pm (match 34) – Bowl Semi-final – Winner Match 27 v Winner Match 28 1.44pm (match 35) – Plate Semi-final – Loser Match 29 v Loser Match 30 2.06pm (match 36) – Plate Semi-final – Loser Match 31 v Loser Match 32 2.28pm (match 37) – Cup Semi-final – Winner Match 29 v Winner Match 30 2.50pm (match 38) – Cup Semi-final – Winner Match 31 v Winner Match 32 3.22pm (match 39) – Bowl Final – Winner Match 33 v Winner Match 34 3.50pm (match 40) – Plate Final – Winner Match 35 v Winner Match 36 4.20pm (match 41) – Bronze Medal Match – Loser Match 37 v Loser Match 38 4.45pm (match 42) – Gold Medal Match (Cup final) – Winner Match 37 v Winner Match 38 5.25pm – Medal Ceremony Rugby Sevens is one of ten core sports at the Commonwealth Games and made its debut in Kuala Lumpur in 1998, but Manchester in 2002 was the first occasion Scotland competed.
