Former Springbok stars Bob Skinstad and Robbie Fleck, in conjunction with Tournament Director Ron Rutland (pictured above with Fleck and Skinstad), and Don Everitt of Kreate Event Management, pooled their collective knowledge to bring this unique, ground-breaking event to the Mother City in February 2009.

Once again the team will be joining forces and working hard with their valued sponsors and partners to raise the bar and ensure that the 2010 Cape Town Tens will be bigger and better in all ways.

The team have once again enlisted the help of Howard Kahn of Sports Network to head up the all important media and communications department, and he will once again work closely with Bodo Sieber of Mimicry whose creative spark will ensure that www.capetowntens.com continues to be the favoured portal of the world Tens community.

Skinstad - the 50th Springbok Test captain - played 42 Tests for South Africa between 1997 and 2007, having also represented his country at Under-21 and Sevens level. After taking a four-year break from top level rugby, Skinstad returned to first-class rugby in 2007, winning a World Cup winners' medal in the process. Since then he has had a successful return to the 10's circuit, having won silverware with the Jam Boys in Bangkok 2008, and with the Scatterlings in Hong Kong 2009, and was very unlucky not to pick up any in his own backyard at the CT Tens!

Fleck - Skinstad's Springbok vice-captain in 2001 - played 31 Tests between 1999 and 2002, being a prominent member of the '99 Bok World Cup squad. After playing all his provincial and Super 12/14 rugby in Cape Town, Fleck joined Bath in 2003 before being forced to retire from the game in 2005. This retirement opened Fleck to the world of Tens, and like Skinstad won silverware with the Jam Boys in 2008. He has since become a permanent fixture at various 10's and other festival rugby tournaments around the world.

Rutland was part of a group that founded the Bangkok Tens back in 2004, which has since become one of the more popular attractions on the Asian Tens circuit, having also spent some time playing in various Sevens and Tens tournaments around the world. Ron is founder of the 'Jamboys' team that proudly boasts a World Cup winner in the shape of Skinstad, and which also won the Bangkok 10's Cup in 2008, and he has recently returned from a successful tour of Asia, having won silverware with the Pot Bellied Pigs in Manila and with the Scatterlings in Hong Kong.

Everitt, who successfully launched Kreate Event Management in SA in 2005 (which counts 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Stu Abbott amongst its partners), has also successfully made the transition from an illustrious professional rugby career to the world of Tens, and participated in both the CT 10's and Bangkok 10's this year. His company Kreate are leaders in world of promotions and events, and where an absolute integral part of ensuring the success of the inaugural Cape Town Tens.
