    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.

    This is like shit sevens. Good for a run in the legs and, given the heat, cooking blokes. Good for fuck all else. Tournament a one-and-done?

    The weather conditions must be insane. The crowd is staying away from the seats in the sun and everyone who turned up is sitting in the shade. And the players are expected to perform in this heat?

    @mariner4life I remember playing 10s as a schoolboy so was curious. I watched the Chiefs game and I'll check out the Blues game. But that will be it for the day.

    All I hope is for no injuries. Weber went off in the first game.

    IS it live on Sky? I can't seem to find it anywhere and channel 057 is unknown.

    @nzzp Yes, Blues playing the Reds now. Perhaps you need to be a subscriber to the Rugby Channel as Ch 57 is listed as a Rugby pop-up channel on the graphic?

    I know - I read that and referred to it in my post. Channel 57 doesn't exist on my sky box though. Jumps from 056 to 060.

    Is anyone getting it on 57? Maybe I need a reboot
