During theory and inquiry, pupils reflected on the key aspects of concepts such as teamwork, individual roles, and communication. During practice, pupils had a chance to apply new rules, team strategies, and to practice sportsmanship.

On the first game SEK faced DC. SEK boys showed some initial apprehension as this was their debut in a rugby competition. However, they responded really well to the opposition, and improved their performance on the second half of game. DC managed to score two tries, signing off with a win of 2-0 over SEK.
On the second game SEK managed to show their ability both at team-level and individual-level. With the boys clearly more reassured of their skills and ability, SEK managed to score four tries against the side of Sherborne International School Qatar to win 4-0. Tries were scored by: Mark Elsonbaty, Daniel García, Adrián García, Jamie Pombo.
