SCOTFEST
RUGBY 10’S

Saturday is Tournament Play and Sunday is Survivors Exhibition Play

About

Running just shy of a decade, rugby in the heart of SCOTFEST is back bigger and better than ever in 2023!

Rugby 10’s

Rugby in the heart of the Scottish festival is back bigger and better than ever! Rugby 10’s, widely popular for lung-bursting runs and bone-crunching tackles!

This format of 10 v 10 rugby is widely popular because it produces lung-bursting runs and of course, bone-crunching tackles! In each game, players have a short time period to score as many points as possible before the clock runs out. When not tearing it up on the field, players and fans can enjoy SCOTFEST!

Traveling 10s format:
Sign up as a team or sign up as individuals or groups of any size and be placed into a team with others on the day of the tournament.
