National 10s: ...and Scotland too!

In Scotland the SWRU are also holding a nationally organised girls 10s tournament - in fact two - and, as in Wales, both are in the first half of the season. Their first tournament will be in Glasgow on 9th November followed by a second event in Perth the following weekend. They also have a senior 10s in January, another youth tournament in April, and a youth "Festival of Rugby" in May.

Its interesting that smaller unions like Scotland and Wales can support nationally organised club events like this (both also have national cups and, certainly in the case of Scotland, a national 7s). But then both unions also only have one level of representative (ie. regional) rugby which does free up the calendar a bit.

Incidentally, if anyone fancied a real adventure the Scottish Girls Sevens is on 6th-7th June (the week after our nationals) - no venue details yet.
