Super Rugby Injury News
Gaining reliable Injury news is never easy, and while we don’t have a database of the latest injuries at Fantasy Rugby Geek, we would highly recommend Draft Rugby’s Casualty Ward, Fantasy Rugby Draft’s Injury List and The Rugby Magazine’s injuries page. Details of these and many other useful Fantasy Rugby resources can be found at our Resources page.
Rugby Box – The World’s first Rugby Subscription Box…
You may be familiar with Subscription Boxes, a service which for a regular subscription fee, a box of curated goodies are sent out on a regular basis. Common in fashion, food, tech and bear for example, but up until now, not for Rugby.
