ASX Sports: The first fantasy rugby game with live trading comes to Super Rugby

The freshest take on fantasy rugby comes to the Southern Hemisphere this weekend with ASX Sports launching their player investment game for Super Rugby Pacific.

Think fantasy rugby meets Jerry Maguire, where you can trade players in real-time and earn cash prizes against your friends, family and colleagues. Show me the money!

Unlike traditional fantasy rugby games, each match is a separate contest with great cash prizes up for grabs. This weekend, you’ll have two opportunities to invest with IPOs running for Saturday’s two New Zealand derbies, with the Blues taking on the Chiefs and the Hurricanes hosting the Highlanders.

This free game allows you to play along live and trade players in real-time that you think are performing below or above expectations. It’s so simple, all you have to do is spend $1,000 fantasy dollars on player shares. You select how many shares you want in each player and they accumulate dividends (or points) based on their on-pitch performances. The more shares you have in top-performing players the more dividends you’ll earn. The only rules are you have to have more than three players in your team.

To get involved, all you have to do is download the ASX Sports app then you’re almost ready to enjoy the next generation of fantasy sports.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide how to play:

How to Play

To begin, download the app from either the App Store or Google Play by searching for ASX Sports and then follow the sign-up instructions. There’s still have plenty of time for you to sign up, so don’t miss out on this new era of gaming.

1. Invest

Once you are in the ASX Sports App, register for the game you want to enter and get ready for the Contest IPO (Initial Player Offering), which will open 48 hours before the game. Think you know who the hidden talents and dark horses of Super Rugby Pacific will be? Now you can prove it by backing them big time.

ASX gives you a budget of $1,000 fantasy dollars to invest in each contest, but you decide which athletes to buy based on who you believe will perform best on the day. You must pick a minimum of three athletes to join but you can invest as many shares as you want in each athlete.

2. Market

Before the game begins, buy shares and build your portfolio of athletes. View the individual athletes for each contest, make your picks and prepare to take on the world.

3. Portfolio

Take your enjoyment of the game to a whole new level as you keep track of your investments in your portfolio while watching the game live.

4. Fantasy Dividends

Fantasy Dividends are based on an athlete’s performance in live games. Tries scored, tackles made and lineouts won are just some of the stats that count towards a player’s performance.

You can trade your shares any time during the live game as you see an athlete’s stock go up and down in order to maximise value. If a player is underperforming, you can simply give them the chop by selling them on. That’s what makes this better than all existing fantasy rugby games.

Head to the leaderboard to see where you stand and take a look at what players your rivals are holding and their portfolio allocation.

 How To Win

Do you see yourself as a trading whizz or a rugby guru? Either way, you’re 80 minutes away from becoming a rugby tycoon!

1. Pick the players who will provide you with the highest dividends throughout the game. The winner is the user with the highest cumulative portfolio (Portfolio + Dividends) at the end of the game.

2. Earn dividends by picking athletes who are scoring based on the specially designed live fantasy score sheet.

3. The more shares you own, the more dividends you can earn. If a player’s value goes up, you can sell them and use that bonus to buy other players. While you cannot buy players with your dividends, your earnings will be locked and will add to your cumulative portfolio.

For example: You have ten shares in Salesi Rayais and he scores three tries just like he did against the Blues. Each try is worth $15 fantasy dollars, so Rayasi earns $45 fantasy dollars (3 x $15 for each try). That means with ten shares you earn $450 (10 shares x $45 fantasy dollars).

4. But be careful. The more expensive the player is, the fewer shares you can afford to buy. The more successful the player is at winning fantasy dividends, the more expensive they will become.

Buying and Selling

Once you decide to buy a player, you enter the Player Trading screen.

Here you can buy as many shares of that player within your budget or sell the shares you own in that player. Once a purchase is made, you will be able to track your order flow in Price Trends.

Player Pricing

This is where you need to be savvy with your picks. IPO player prices are based on their expected points performance and once the IPO opens, prices will move with market demand. The more points expected, the higher the price will be, meaning you can own fewer shares.

Player prices will get adjusted after each game based on their performances as well.

Mastering  ASX is not necessarily just about buying the most expensive players, as you will be unable to buy as many shares. As your earnings are determined by number of shares you hold multiplied by points earned, having a substantial number of shares in a player can be key as well.

'Passionate reunion of France and New Zealand shows Fabien Galthie is wrong to rest his stars'

Where? I remember saying "unders"? The LNR was formed by the FFR, if I said that in a way that meant the 'pro' side of the game didn't have an equal representation/say as the 'amateur' side (FFR remit) that was not my intent.


But also, as it is the governing body, it also has more responsibility. As long as WR looks at FFR as the running body for rugby in France, that 'power' will remain. If the LNR refuses to govern their clubs use of players to enable a request by FFR (from WR) to ensure it's players are able to compete in International rugby takes place they will simply remove their participation. If the players complain to the France's body, either of their health and safety concerns (through playing too many 'minutes' etc) or that they are not allowed to be part in matches of national interest, my understanding is action can be taken against the LNR like it could be any other body/business. I see where you're coming from now re EPCR and the shake up they gave it, yes, that wasn't meant to be a separate statement to say that FFR can threaten them with EPCR expulsion by itself, simply that it would be a strong repercussion for those teams to be removed (no one would want them after the above).


You keep bringing up these other things I cannot understand why. Again, do you think if the LNR were not acting responsibly they would be able to get away with whatever they want (the attitude of these posters saying "they pay the players")? You may deem what theyre doing currently as being irresponsible but most do not. Countries like New Zealand have not even complained about it because they've never had it different, never got things like windfall TV contracts from France, so they can't complain because theyre not missing out on anything. Sure, if the French kept doing things like withholding million dollar game payments, or causing millions of dollars of devaluation in rights, they these things I'm outlining would be taking place. That's not the case currently however, no one here really cares what the French do. It's upto them to sort themselves out if they're not happy. Now, that said, if they did make it obvious to World Rugby that they were never going to send the French side away (like they possibly did stating their intent to exclude 20 targeted players) in July, well then they would simply be given XV fixtures against tier 2 sides during that window and the FFR would need to do things like the 50/50 revenue split to get big teams visiting in Nov.
