Bermuda 10s - (ft. Barry Herbert)

Rugby PickEm

After speaking with Rugby PickEm friend Taylor Howden (the next Eddie Jones in the making) and he confirmed he was coaching the (throwback) Ohio Aviator side in Bermuda 10's, my mind began racing with questions about business side of things... Who are the financial backers and what are their end game? Is Bermuda 10's the beginning of a year-round 10's tour? With 7's programs getting cut around the world by broke unions, will 10's take flight? Where does 10's land on the player safety scale? Are the massive 15's collisions slightly reduced? Could this be the code that helps rugby survive long term? The mythical clouds have receded, and the teams have assembled in the mystical island of Bermuda.
