Fantasy Rugby Picks – URC 2024/25 Semi Finals

Welcome to your weekly guide for fantasy rugby on URC! Whether you’re a seasoned fantasy rugby veteran or a newcomer looking to make a mark, this week’s insights are built to help you fly up your league. Dive in and get ready to take your fantasy rugby team to the next level!

The United Rugby Championship is only available on one Fantasy Rugby platform this season, and that’s SuperBru. Have a read of the FRG guide to the game here.

Did you play the Official Super Rugby Fantasy Game? The team behind the fantasy game have just shared a survey to help them shape the game next year. If you have any suggestions (like adding a bench to deal with players getting hooked late😉) then this is how you get it done! You can access the survey here.
