The Lanna 10s Rugby (union) League for 2020 has been confirmed with four teams in total set to compete for the title in northern Thailand, starting in September.
In July, the Lanna Tens Rugby League 2020 was announced with three rugby clubs committed but one more has been added. Thomas Stubley, who is one of the passionate individuals driving the game in northern Thailand told us “We have 4 teams now, CMU also joined in. Next season I hope we can have another couple of teams, but this is good progress.”
The team’s managers and chief of the referees Khun Kit, all met this week to agree on the fixtures and format.
