FANTASY SUPER RUGBY 2019 - SUPER RUGBY CLUB SCORES.
This is how the Super Rugby Clubs themselves scored by the end of the regular season of 2019 Draft Rugby's Fantasy Super Rugby.
TEAM ↓ STARTING XV FULL TEAM (23) BENCH ONLY Crusaders* 8029 9298 1353 Chiefs 7881 9275 1394 Highlanders* 7659 8792 1204 Hurricanes 7390 8619 1229 Waratahs 7309 8423 1115 Blues 7209 8384 1174 Reds 7129 8322 1193 Lions 7108 8414 1306 Bulls 6781 7787 1006 Brumbies 6707 8009 1302 Sharks 6632 7908 1276 Rebels 6443 7470 1026 Jaguares 6383 7799 1416 Stormers 6319 7650 1331 Sunwolves 5837 6942 1104
* Note: Due to the tragic events in Christchurch the round 5 match between the Crusaders and Highlanders was cancelled. For the sake of this table we gave these teams their season average scores (see below table) for round 5 of the competition.
Clubs Average Fantasy Points Per Game - Above Total Season Scores divided by 16 (18 regular season games subtracting the 2 byes):
TEAM ↓ STARTING XV FULL TEAM (23) BENCH ONLY Crusaders 502 581 85 Chiefs 493 580 87 Highlanders 479 550 75 Hurricanes 462 539 77 Waratahs 457 526 70 Blues 451 524 73 Reds 446 520 75 Lions 444 526 82 Bulls 424 487 63 Brumbies 419 501 81 Sharks 415 494 80 Rebels 403 467 64 Jaguares 399 487 89 Stormers 395 478 83 Sunwolves 365 434 69
I think this means that our Draft Rugby Fantasy scoring system can't be far off the mark considering that only the top 6 teams managed an average score above 450 points per game. 450 points is the fantasy score we set each round for teams to gain an attacking bonus point in their league! Further analysis to be done and plenty of work will go into this and the platform before the release for Fantasy Super Ruby 2020.
How did your fantasy team compare to the Super Rugby clubs in 2019? You can check out how our league teams went in the OG League Blog, the league of armchair warriors that started it all!
Check out the penultimate episode of the Draft Rugby podcast for 2019 where we discussed the Super Rugby final and take a look back on Fantasy Super Rugby 2019. *Note, I totally may have screwed up the season club fantasy scores for our discussion in the pod! This article however has the correct fantasy scores.

That's me for 2019! All focus now to go on completing the Draft Rugby platform and we'll all be heading over to the rugby world cup in Japan. Give us a shout on twitter if you want to grab a beer!
