The long-awaited start of the Super Rugby Pacific Fantasy game is nearly here, but fans will have to wait another couple of days before the game is fully released. Fantasy is a virtual competition where you can create a team to play in leagues against your friends, family, colleagues or an open league created by anyone around the world. You begin by creating a team, filled with players from different Super Rugby teams, that receive points based on specific performance categories.

Super Rugby Pacific announced that you will be able to select a team of 15 players, with a maximum of four players from one franchise.
This will auto-populate any empty positions within your team using your remaining budget allowance. Your man squad will be made up of players in these positional categories. The Super Rugby Pacific Fantasy game will allow you to make unlimited transfers throughout the season, letting you change your man team as many times as you want.
If a player has been listed as injured, they will have this cross symbol next to their name. Please refer to the Key on the My Team page. Super Rugby Fantasy has decided to use a rolling lockout service meaning that when a team plays, the players in that squad will become locked until the end of the current round. Once a player becomes locked in the current round you can no longer make a transfer or apply a booster to them until the round concludes and lockout is lifted.
Each squad will have a Triple captain, Co-captain and Limitless boosters in their arsenal for whenever they choose to use them. Your chosen captain will get you triple points for one round, instead of the normal amount for a captain double. For each lineout steal on the opponent throw: 5 points. For each lineout error includes handling error, not straight or lost outright : -2 points. For scrum won outright awarded to entire front row : 3 points.
