"R10C is an exciting concept in sport. It brings equality for Men and Women at various levels including compensation structure, it's a unique development pathway for Boys and Girls and it creates opportunities for diverse competition with players from countries such as New Zealand, Brazil, Canada, USA, Ireland, Kenya, Portugal, Sweden, South Africa and more" said R10C co-founder and president of the Blue Bulls Rugby Union, Willem Strauss.
The event introduces the Balkans Honey Badgers, Cape Town Wild Dogs, San Clemente Rhinos, and Serengeti Elephants squads, each consisting of Men, Women, Academy Boys and Academy Girls teams.
The Portugal event will see the 8 professional teams bring some of the best current and rising 7s, 10s and 15s talent around the world. Each team will play three pool matches before qualifying for the play-off stages and competing for the Tournament Cup. The squads compete for the Championship Title by earning points based on their Men, Women, Academy Boys and Girls performances.
"By showcasing the Academy Division for Boys and Girls teams affiliated with the professional teams, R10C is creating strong connections between youth and the professional game, evangelizing the sport in new communities, and celebrating Rugby and its values in a festival-like atmosphere" commented Andreea Trufasu, R10C Co-Founder.
