The team arrived in Dubai in 3 groups from yesterday morning. The first batch arrived at 09:00 yesterday morning. The boys had a busy day stating with a lunch with the Springbok 7's squad. The SA ambassador in the UAE welcomed the boys.
Last night they attended the opening function in the form of a beach party at the Meridian Hotel. Half of the team still had to write their matric exams yesterday and had to join the squad a bit later. The 2nd group arrived at 02:00 this morning and the last 3 at 09:00 this morning.
There will be no rest for the late arrivals as they will go straight to the Dubai College grounds for a practice session.
Today the team will have a training session and thereafter tackle the desert in 4x4's with a desert drive that ends with a braai under the desert sky.
This will be the last day of relaxation as the games start bright and early tomorrow morning.
