Brief summary of the 2007 event

Despite the disappointment of having so few local teams participate in the annual Tens day, the event was a great success with all teams enjoying the wonderful Sunshine and the freedom offered by the 10 man rugby format.  Everywhere one looked there were tries being scored and hakas being performed.  I often wonder what the rugby world would do without the Kiwis and their passion for the game.  They simply can't get enough rugby. The trend we often see in Australia is one in which teams are afraid to enter events like the SCTF for fear of injury and these injuries reducing the chances of a local premiership flag.  Unfortunately, this attitude denies our buddding rugby players of the opportunity to play rugby purely for enjoyment and to see why the game's international flavour and code of ethics resulting from its proud amateur beginnings really do make our game different.

Thanks to Reporoa College (NZ) and Aranmore catholic College (WA) for providing extra teams on the day after the draw was thrown into initial chaos by a couple of local teams that failed to show.  Thanks also to team managers for their promptness in having their teams start each match on time and for getting the match results into admin as quickly as they did.

The Sunshine Coast is a beautiful part of Queensland and it is hoped that all who opted to spend a day or two there enjoyed the experience as well as the rugby.
