2009 TENS
BADGERS RETAIN TITLE !!

The UK's Kukri Badgers have become the first team to retain the title at this years Phuket International Tens. They won the Cup Final with a convincing 38 - 0 win over the ever popular Moorabbin Rams from Melbourne. It wasn't all doom for the Rams however as their veterans walked away with the Prestigious Coffin Dodgers Cup defeating The Wanderers Wrinklies 5 - 0 in a game that required 2 periods of extra time to decide the winners.

In the Main Competition Plate Final the Kriel Roosters from South Africa defeated 2007 Tournament winners the Emirates Airlines Flying Muppets 34 - 5 and the Singapore Bucks went home with the Bowl beating British Club B 17 - 12.
