Even if you’re not a rugby fan you’ll know that the Boks took a serious beating at the hands of the All Blacks this past weekend, and we’ll be licking our wounds for many months to come.

That’s also true of Allister Coetzee, who must be stressing ahead of that end-of-year tour to Europe.

Maybe we need a breather from the 15-man version, but you’ll be hard-pressed to keep rugby fans away from the game they love. That’s why you should know about the Tshwane 10s taking place later this month, sponsored by Stor-Age, South Africa’s leading self-storage brand.

A spin-off of the hugely successful Cape Town 10s, the event will be hosted at Harlequins Rugby Club in Groenkloof, Pretoria from 28 to 29 October with more than 10 000 fans expected to attend the weekend’s festivities.

Ain’t this exciting:

The Old School Group – the team behind the Cape Town 10s, has upped the ante and introduced a number of new elements to the event modelled on the Cape Town 10s by including three completely new sporting codes: dodgeball, lawn bowls and squash.

Players and spectators will have loads to look forward to including sporting action from more than 100 x teams taking part across the various codes on offer, including rugby, netball, beach volleyball, dodgeball, lawn bowls, touch rugby and squash.

Along with the action on the sports fields, the event will feature a sensational entertainment line-up and guest appearances from some of SA’s most iconic sporting legends and celebrities.

Yes, dodgeball my friends.

A few of those celebs and sporting legends that will be floating around the show:

The Tshwane 10s will offer an unparalleled lifestyle and sporting experience where guests can enjoy nail-biting sporting action. They will also have the opportunity to rub shoulders with Cape Town 10s co-founders Rob Fleck and Bob Skinstad as well as other South African sporting heroes, including the likes of Bakkies Botha, Victor Matfield, Fourie Du Preez, Derick Hougaard, Percy Montgomery, Gcobani Bobo and Jacques Burger set to make their mark at the Event.

Dubbed “The Olympics’ of social sports”, the Tshwane 10s will also feature celebrity rugby and netball teams with a host of South African radio personalities, comedians, music stars and TV stars participating.

If you’ve ever been to the Cape Town 10s you’ll know these events are one helluva jol, and Chris Oosthuizen, GM Sales and Marketing for Stor-Age, is happy to be on board:

Stor-Age is delighted to be partnering with 10s Rugby for the Tshwane 10s. The event promises to be a fantastic opportunity to continue our association with the 10s brand and be a part of such a vibrant and enjoyable event.
