00:00You

00:30For me, the competition was amazing this year. We've entered it a few years in a row

00:40now and we're seeing the stadium progress a lot in the years. The step they're learning

00:45from primary coming up with Minecraft, the skills are really, really cool to see. I think

00:50as an educational tool, Minecraft has been an absolutely amazing development in the sort

00:55of learning sector. So being able to use Minecraft for rugby or any other kind of AOL-y

01:00learning experience has been massive for us as a school. We've gained a lot of interest

01:06this year in rugby, especially with everything that's going on in Wales, such a massive rugby

01:09heritage. And I hope that sort of passes on now with the learners as they go on to other

01:14competitions, try and keep it all about Wales.

01:23Myself, I'm very into rugby myself. So from a personal point of view, I really enjoyed

01:27it. And then obviously I was able to pass that on to the learners. It was lots of steps

01:33to get our head around, but I think we sort of learned along the way and the children

01:38helped me out and I helped them out. And it was a really nice, collaborative, small group

01:42thing that we did in our school. I think it just made us think about our clubs and made

01:48them realise that, you know, if there's a rugby club, it's not just for playing rugby.

01:53You know, you can go there for other things, even if you just want to go and watch, just

01:57want to go for some downtime, you know, you can go and use your local club when there's

02:00nothing on. And I think it just allowed them to realise that it's a hub of the community.

02:10I found it amazing. It's such a cool thing. In the past, I haven't been as big with Minecraft,

02:15but as soon as I joined the club, I've just been obsessed with it. I really like the tour,

02:19like finding out, and the lot of rooms, it was like, criss-crossing around those, like,

02:23boxes and stuff, but that was really cool. I learnt a lot more about, like, what people

02:28in particular, what sports and how it can have an impact on them, like, how, like, obsessed

02:33with, like, almost, like, enjoyment people have with it.

02:43I really enjoyed, like, talking to everyone and meeting all of the people who helped to

02:50make this competition, and it was really fun to present our ideas and to just show everyone

02:56what we thought of. There's such a huge community of people who enjoy rugby, and it would be

03:01so fun to meet everyone and to just, like, join in.

03:04It has been very fun. I think it's been really good to include something that most children

03:18really like to play, play games on, like, for example, Minecraft. Lots of children like

03:24Minecraft, so I think it was a really good idea to include Minecraft into the competition,

03:29and it was very good as well. I think it would be quite fun to play rugby

03:34in the Principality Stadium. I think it would be very, very cool.
