**Draft the biggest names:** Load players from across international rugby and club competitions — for example: All Blacks, Springboks, Ireland, France, Leinster

## How to run a rugby union draft

1. **Build your rugby union board.** Upload a CSV of players from international rugby and club competitions with your own ranks and any rating columns you care about, or start from a template and edit it.
2. **Set the format and invite your league.** Choose a snake draft, a budget auction, or a hybrid of both, set the order or randomise it, then share one join link with your managers.
3. **Draft it live.** Every manager picks on the same synced clock. Auto-pick keeps the rugby union draft moving if someone loses signal, and the commissioner can undo a pick or skip a turn if it goes wrong.
