Scotland 7s will take on the island of Niue in the first round of the bowl tomorrow (Saturday 4 February) having been knocked out of the IRB New Zealand Sevens cup competition with loses to England and Australia today.

Glasgow Warriors aprentices Colin Gregor and Scott Forrest are in the Scotland squad competing in New Zealand.

The Scots ran the Auld Enemy close in the first game this morning but they lost 12-5 before Australia ran out 22-12 winners in game two. Scotland finished the day on a high with a 34-12 win over Papua New Guinea. With the cup out of reach, Scotland have set their sights on taking silverware from the bowl.

If Scotland beat Niue tomorrow morning, they will face the winners of Tonga v Kenya. Niue narrowly lost 26-17 to France today before heavy defeats from Fiji and Canada followed.

Scotland playing with Tonga, Kenya and Niue (or Nuie?). Is this division three or the conference?
