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 and The Rugby Magazine’s injuries page. Details of these and many other useful Fantasy Rugby resources can be found at our Resources page.
