2018 Brisbane Global Tens

The question is, if the Tens move to NZ, which city should host it? Not convinced Auckland is the answer (nor Wellington).
-
Given our crowd numbers outside of the ABs and even the 7s (last week aside) why do they think this would work better in nz?

Blues, Crusaders and Chiefs look to be the 3 standouts from day 1.
Looks like the top 2 teams overall on points difference will go straight through to semis while the next best 4 have to play-off in qualifying finals.
Seems like a pretty significant disadvantage for whichever pool winner is deemed to come third.
They'll play a QF and an hour after they finish they play a semi against a team that's only played one game today.
I presume it's done on points differential so helps a lot to be in a weak pool. Right now it looks likely the rankings would be 1. Blues; 2 Crusaders; 3 Chiefs.

Last year they had QFs as the top 2 teams from each pool qualified. Pools C and D only had 3 teams so a cross-over game was played.
This year there are 3 pools of 4 teams. They should just make it that the pool winners and the next best team qualify for SFs.

@stargazer I'd be willing to let it die. There isn't enough rugby in the calendar? We're halfway through summer.

I'm surprised by how much I've enjoyed this. Better than sevens, IMO.
I've always liked 10s. Enough of the main 15s game, but with more space. You can carry a fat bastard in the team without regretting it too much!

Impressive try by youngster Telea.
He even looks big amongst men.
Where is Papali'i? Him and Trainor haven't come on.

With Papali'i and Akira, the Blues loosies look in good shape going forward ....
