One week down, onto the next! Week 2 of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season is upon us.
One of the more interesting game mechanics for Fantasy Super Rugby Pacific is the booster system that includes Triple Captain, Limitless and Co-Captains.
Looking at the top-performing teams from the opening week of the competition, it's clear that many fantasy coaches opted to make use of some, if not all three, boosters to get a head start.
Here's what the makeup of the top team in the Sport Nation league looked like, with 'Bigmaso' scoring 889 points, with a 'triple captain' boost on Chiefs fullback Damian McKenzie yielding 312 alone.
The best of the Sport Nation team was Afternoons host Mark Stafford, with his side 'Enter Stafman' sitting in 19th place (out of 1179 participants) on 588 points.
