Phuket International Tens 2019

The Phuket International Tens 2019 takes place next weekend from the 24-26 May 2019. We had previously reported the teams set to take part but the final list of teams and pools have now been finalised.

The 21st edition of the Phuket International Rugby 10s features 8 women’s teams, 15 men’s open teams, 8 vets teams (over 35’s) and 4 legendary One Foot in the Grave O’ 45s teams.

In the men’s Open section, the home team, the Phuket Vagabonds are looking for a 3rd straight Cup win. Two of the
semi-finalists from 2018 are back again, however, to topple the Vagabonds from the top; East Admiralty from Hong Kong & the PAC Barbarians. PAC Barbarians picked up the Bangkok Tens Cup in February this year.

The Ladies section is as big as its ever been with 8 teams and sees some seasoned regulars from SEA as well as newcomers like the Emirates Firebirds who are comprised of staff and cabin crew of the airline. The Phnom Penh Sparkling Rahus, Chinas Shenzhen Dragons, Wahine RFC, Vientiane Buffaloes & KL Tigers Ladies are all making their debut Phuket 10s. The Bangkok Belles are the defending ladies champions.
