[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 774951, member: 20605"] I sort of agree with that. The game play and tactics in Sevens are very different from the fifteen-a-side game, so much so, that it almost qualifies as a different game altogether. Tens is a great compromise, it still has a similar offensive tactics and game play as Fifteens, but with two less backs the defensive lines are harder to maintain; there are always going to be gaps in the backlines. Also, with no flankers the SH and 1st 5/8 have a little more freedom to operate, and the lack of a No 8 limits the cover defence. All this leads to a more open and free flowing game. Elevens would give you nothing that 10's doesn't already have. [/QUOTE]
