 | FREE TO PLAY
Full featured game is available to all participants once they have registered with the site. All rugby forums and Rugby Wiki areas are open for the public to view. |

 | SET UP DIVISIONS OR LEAGUES TO PLAY IN
Divisions are a fun way for friends to engage with each other, to form connections and to partake in a bit of friendly rivalry.. yeah right!. Create a private division (which requires a password to enter) or join a public division. View the division page to see how you are placed, spy on other members, or do some trash-talking in the chat room. |
|
 | BUILD A SQUAD
Manage your own squad of players just like a real coach, cut them if they don't deliver, watch the market, look for a favorable draw, do what it takes to win!. |
|
 | RUGBY STATS GALORE!
13 stats are collected and logged against every player that takes the field during a rugby series. Positive attributes like scoring a try, kicking goals, winning scrums and lineouts are rewarded, while negative ones like giving away penalties, missing goal kicks or losing possession will lose you points. Filter players by 'best scorer' overall, last round or by each individual stat. |
|
 | PLAY THE STOCK MARKET
One of the most exciting features of TESTRUGBY.COM is the ability to speculate in the buying and selling of players. Smart managers will pick up players that they know to be good scorers at bargain prices, as more gamers buy that player, their price will steadily rise, at the same time increasing their team value. Being smart they also know when to sell, a player may have picked up an injury, this is the time to sell, with a bit more cash in the bank, a better, higher priced player can replace them. |
|
 | TRADES
Trade out players that aren't cutting the mustard, invest in new talent but don't over do it, trades are allocated in bulk lots during a series so they must be managed well. The ability buy a limited number of trades is allowed under times of stress. |
|
 | SPY MODE
Keep an eye on your competition, don't worry they'll be doing it to you too. You can view other people's picks after each round has finished, giving you an insight into their strategies and techniques. |
|
 | FIND FRIENDS WHO ARE ALSO PLAYING
Search for others who are playing, keep them in a friends list, spy on them or send them a friendly chat message. If someone adds you to their friends list we'll even let you know! |
|
 | CHAT WITH FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES
Use the Chat tools to connect with other competitors in your Division. Give them a gentle gibe or two about who really knows their rugby... especially when you have the upper hand? |
|
 | SQUAD INSURANCE
To score points in TESTRUGBY.COM a full squad is a prerequisite, for whatever reason (believe me we've heard them all?) you forget to fill in your roster, you can purchase Squad Insurance to have it done automatically. Our super guru, magic, computerised picker will make it's decision in the blink of an eye, allowing you to continue on without losing any points. There are two types of insurance: Standard Insurance, which is purchased before any mishap has occured and Emergency Insurance for when you didn't have Standard Insurance in place. Being an Emergency Insurance, it does cost a bit more. |
|
 | WIN PRIZES
We'll reward a weekly winner with a cash prize but the real prize is bragging rights in this game. It's not often that you win a round so it's time to boast when you do. A grand prize for the overall winner is also provided. |
