How to Pick your Team
Create your Fantasy Rugby team from the 'real life' players in the six teams taking part in the two series.
Game players have a total budget of 95 fantasy stars to choose a team of 15 players comprising of the following:
3 x Front Row Forwards
2 x Second Row Forwards
3 x Back Row Forwards
1 x Scrum Half
1 x Fly Half
5 x Backs (Centres, Wings and Full-Backs)
You are only allowed to buy a maximum of 8 players from 1 team.
Each player has a ‘Star Rating/value' of between 1 - 10, with 10 stars indicating the best players. The rating is based on their ability and the country they represent.
You can either manually pick a team using your rugby know-how, or use the 'Lucky Dip' option, where the computer picks a team for you.
Captain:
You must choose one player to be your Captain. Your Captain scores DOUBLE POINTS. You can change your captain as many times as you want, but only the player named as captain at a transfer deadline will receive double points for that match. If no captain is chosen, no player will received double points!
