    Surely they could get Cameron Shepherd to squeeze into a force jersey and lace up the boots.

    Couldn't find anything about this being broadcast on Sky. What's the deal?

    Anyone notice a Brussow/Pocock type ballhawk in any of the NZ sides?

    I'd put my dollars on the side with the best fetcher winning the whole thing. 😧

    Matt Matich has been called into Blues 10s squad as injury cover, although not sure who for.

    Great. So that means my fanpass won't get it. There is bugger all other sport on at the moment so there's no need for this bollocks.

    F%$^%ing Sky.

    SS1 doesn't have any live sport on this afternoon so I'm not sure of the rationale - we obviously don't pay extra for a pop-up channel. Note that live softball is also on a pop-up channel today.

    Ok so does anyone know what the format of this thing will be? Is it lots of short games like 7s or full 80min games and the loser gets knocked out?

    1. Ten players per team on field.

    2. Eight substitutes, with unlimited interchanges.

    3. Ten minute halves. Five minute halftime.

    4. Knockout matches drawn after regulation are continued into extra time, in multiple 5-minute periods.

    5. All conversion attempts must be drop-kicked.

    6. Conversions must be taken within 40 seconds of scoring a try.

    7. Five player scrums.

    8. Scoring team kicks off

    9. Yellow cards net a three-minute suspension.

    10. Referees rule on advantage quickly (where one play usually ends advantage).

    It's the same as normal 10s tournaments.

    I get the impression that Sky treats FanPass customers as an afterthought and deliberately do this to try and get us to buy the full package.

    At $56 a month it isn't exactly cheap - though admittedly it does give real flexibility to turn it on and off whenever one likes. I am pissed because I let it roll over for another month the other day purely so I could watch the 10's. Otherwise I would have waited until the first ODI of the Proteas tour to turn it back on and saved about 2 weeks of use.

    Thanks for the info.
    Looks like a big crowd has turned up. Must be all of 200 people there.

    You're aren't missing much. It looks like the breakdown will be a free-for-all based on the ref in the first game.

    @Bovidae Yes, it looked very messy. Mixture of inexperienced players, first outing of the year for most, the officiating and maybe the conditions, too. Nothing to do with the 10s format though.
