World Rugby launches Rugby World Cup 2023 Fantasy game
By Liam Heagney
World Rugby have launched RWC 2023 Fantasy just nine days before the Rugby World Cup kicks off with host nation France taking on the All Blacks in Paris on September 8. The free-to-play fantasy game allows fans to strategically build their teams to take part in competitive leagues that have weekly prizes.
To celebrate the launch, World Rugby have also released a one-off RWC 2023 Fantasy Showdown TV special hosted by Gethin Jenkins and featuring Jim Hamilton, Benjamin Kayser and Ugo Monye.
As an example of the wide variation a participant can come up with in their Fantasy pick, ex-Scotland lock Hamilton has picked an XV featuring an all-Georgian front row and yet still has 12 countries represented in his team.
James Rothwell, the World Rugby chief marketing and content officer, said: “We are delighted to introduce the Rugby World Cup 2023 Fantasy game, providing fans with a unique and immersive way to engage with the tournament.
“This innovative game, the first official RWC Fantasy ever created for a Rugby World Cup, allows fans to showcase their rugby knowledge, strategic thinking, and passion for the sport, all while enjoying the excitement of Rugby World Cup 2023.”
A statement explaining the launch read: “In an exciting development for rugby enthusiasts around the world, World Rugby are thrilled to unveil the official Rugby World Cup 2023 Fantasy game.
"As fans gear up to witness the pinnacle of men's 15s rugby this year, the RWC 2023 Fantasy game promises an unparalleled level of engagement and excitement throughout the tournament.
“The RWC 2023 Fantasy game has been meticulously crafted to provide an enhanced user experience, offering rugby enthusiasts and new fans to the game the opportunity to actively participate in the Rugby World Cup festivities. The game features a range of dynamic elements:
Free to play: Rugby enthusiasts from across the globe can join the action without any cost, making the game accessible to all fans, regardless of location.
Strategic team building: Participants have 100 credits to assemble their dream team of 15 players and strategically manage their selections with unlimited transfers, allowing for tactical adjustments throughout the tournament. For fans who need more support selecting their team, positional explainers and auto-fill functionality are available to ensure the game can be enjoyed by everyone.
Competitive leagues: Fans can join public global leagues and set up private leagues to compete against friends, family and fellow fans in a friendly yet competitive environment.
Innovative point maximisation: With your chosen captain earning double points, the game also introduces three unique boosters (triple captain, super kicker and defensive king) that will also earn participants double and triple points. The rolling lockout mechanic allows users to make tactical changes right until kick-off, enabling them to maximise their team's performance and climb the global leaderboard.
Weekly prizes: Adding an extra layer of excitement, the RWC 2023 Fantasy awards weekly prizes to the top three highest point scorers of each week. As Rugby World Cup 2023 reaches its thrilling conclusion, the top three overall winners of the global leaderboard will also win prizes.
“RWC 2023 Fantasy is available in both English and French, catering to a diverse global audience when France 2023 will take the spotlight from 8 September to 28 October. Fans can easily play the game by visiting www.fantasy.rugbyworldcup.com or downloading the official Rugby World Cup app and signing up.”

I was the subject of a cryptocurrency heist. Some amount of bitcoin was stolen from my wallet and diverted to an unpermitted account. My wallet management was informed, however, they had me wait a week before responding through email. They didn’t offer any assistance; alternatively, they mentioned that my phone might have been compromised and told me to get in touch with the authorities who couldn't provide any solution to recover my bitcoin. When I was browsing through the internet trying to find a solution to get my stolen bitcoin back, I discovered a team of bitcoin recovery experts called Wizard James Recovery company. I then decided to contact them for assistance in getting my stolen money back. I have nothing but praise for Wizard James Recovery company because they were able to assist me in recovering the money that had been stolen. With the use of their sophisticated tools, Wizard James Recovery was able to determine how the transaction was carried out. I have my money back and I am very thankful to Wizard James Recovery company for their amazing service. If you have any issues related to mine. Kindly contact them via email.

Go to commentsMy partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum. They restored our faith in the power of ethical innovation.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech
