Malaysians, something to be proud of. Furiously Fast, Rugby in 10's

Like before, i'll start with the history of the tournament and i am so proud to say that 10's aside rugby, originated in Malaysia!

Ten a side rugby tournament was first introduced and held in Malaysia in the year 1967. The founders were the Combined Old Boys’s Rugby Association (or in short COBRA) members. The idea of the game was “Create a format of play that is fast and open but still retains much of the character of the 15’s version” (COBRA, 2012)

The rules for a 10’s match are the same with 7's aside match where conversion kicks must be a dropped kick. And also during extra time the first team to score a try is declared a winner and the game ends.

The difference of 10’s and 7’s is the number of players in the pitch for each team.

Forwards – Consist of 5 players (2 Props, Hooker and 2 Locks)

Backs – (Scrum – Half, Fly – Half, Inside Center, Outside Center, Winger)

Duration of the match is maximum 20 minutes per match with 2 halves.

 The pitch dimension is the same as the 15's aside rugby pitch.
