Welcome to the fourth Ruggas.co.za draft. This exercise started seven years ago when everybody questioned the South African Schoolboy Rugby's ability to provide sufficient talent for our professional franchises to not only compete but win the then Super Rugby competition.
This year we are going to allow two readers of Ruggas.co.za to join. Please forward your name and email address to news@ruggas.co.za. Included in your mail must be a detailed reason why you feel you qualify to join our trusted panel. If your knowledge is limited to your school or province, unfortunately, it will not be good enough.
Rules:
1. You must draft a squad of 15 players, team manager, head coach, forward coach and backline coach.
2. The draft is limited to boys who played in the u/18 and u/19 age groups in 2023.
3. You may not draft a player out of position. He must have played at least three matches in a position.
4. You must submit three players together with the amount of money you want to bid, three days in advance. You will receive a detailed list of which positions will be drafted on what dates.
5. The highest bidder gets the player.
6. If there are two "scouts" that bid the same amount for a player, the highest ranked bidder will have first choice.
