One Response to Cape Town Tens – this weekend

    “But as most know, Tens is not only about sports!” Really? So what is it about then?

    IMO It’s about the peakless mountain city dwellers having their own unique event that the vast majority of Rugby enthusiast couldn’t really give a hoot about.

    Let’s be honest, 10’s has never really caught on as a popular Rugby format.

    I would be willing to bet that if a test was held today here on RT about the rule variations between the 15 man code and 10’s, less that 25% of bloggers would have any chance of getting a mark higher than a C+ (IOW >60%).

    Such is the popularity of this format of Rugby Union.
