The World Tens Series is a brand new professional Rugby Tens competition that will consist of ten players per team, playing in two (2) 10-minute halves per match. Each team will compete in five matches per round (weekend). Round One kicks off this weekend in Bermuda starting on Sunday, October 25, 2020.
