Welcome to our latest instalment of our weekly pre-match updates for this year’s inaugural United Rugby Championship. This is where we analyse the weekend’s lineups, crunch the stats and see what the bookies are thinking to help you optimise your lineups for peak performance this weekend! By the time you finish this article you should have all the insight you need to score big fantasy points this weekend.
Make sure you come back every weekend before finalising your lineups! The United Rugby Championship is only available on one Fantasy Rugby platform, and that’s SuperBru.
