The Brisbane Tens is here for the first time ever, as Australian and New Zealand Super Rugby teams meet with a few other sides from around the globe to give us a glimpse of the Super Rugby season ahead. Join us for live score updates from Day 1 here on The Roar from 1pm AEDT.
Fourteen different sides are involved in this year’s inaugural edition of the Brisbane Tens competition.
All five Australian Super Rugby sides have made the journey – the local heroes the Queensland Reds, as well as the NSW Waratahs, ACT Brumbies, Melbourne Rebels and Western Force.
The same goes for all five New Zealand Super Rugby sides – we’ve got the reigning champions the Hurricanes, as well as the Highlanders, Chiefs, Crusaders and Blues.
The remaining four sides making up the competition are a selection of four more quality teams from around the globe, and provide the competition with an interesting mix.
There’s one more Super Rugby team in there, the Bulls, as well as Toulon, the Panasonic Wild Knights, and the nation of Samoa.
Here’s the basic facts of the Brisbane Tens. We have ten players per side, and ten-minute halves. The sides are divided into four pools – two of four, and two of three. We’ll have pools matches all day today and tomorrow morning, before a knockout eight-team finals series tomorrow afternoon.
The full slate of matches for today is as follows:
1pm: Rebels 19-5 Chiefs
1.28pm: Wild Knights 15-5 Waratahs
1.56pm: Reds 17-17 Blues
2.29pm: Bulls 14-10 Force
2.57pm: Brumbies 7-14 Highlanders

Saw some vey negative articles about the Tens. I enjoyed it and prefer it to 7s as there was some muscle in the forwards and the scrums were genuine. And it had higher ratings than the 7s. I think its a good concept.

Poly Warrior with one of his classic attempts at humour. No idea who Matt is but presume it was someone else that beat you up. Interesting to see even the organisers now concede the 20k first day was a straight out lie. Too easy.

Imagine getting clobbered by you Matt! That would be a deflation to the ego.

You're kidding aren't you? Union dead in the water? Based on what, your impression of the crowds in Brisbane for the 10s? You 'aving a laugh???

20k my a rse lol

Crowd sure wasn't "big"... The heat kept many away (wait to see if Sunday's forecast 39 Celcius drops the numbers even further...) until a bit into the tournament, but 20K seems about right. Wonder about the mentality of some 'fans' at carnival rugby (7s, 10s etc..)...a large portion of the crowd in our area seemed more intent on drinking as much overpriced alcohol than enjoying the rugby...

When even a rah rah fanboy like Tyson Otto at Newscorp declares it an embarrassing fail you know it is hardly a raging success Union dead in the water in Australia
