Dream XV Rugby's Mission
At DXV we are first and foremost lovers of the game of Rugby. We have big ideas about Fantasy Rugby and how it can bring the fans closer to the game and its heroes. Originally conceived, as many of the best ideas are, over a warm summer evening in a beer garden, we hope to bring you the most immersive and engaging game available.
Connect
We want to bring the fans closer to the professional game. To provide a way for fans to engage with and support the players they watch each week and to get a deeper look into the action on the pitch.
Grow
Rugby is the best game in the world, and as such we want it to reach as many people as possible so that they can get the same enjoyment from it that we have.
Give back
Rugby has given us so much, and we want to give something back. That's why we want this platform to be a force for good through supporting not just the many charitable organisations around the game but also by supporting the beating heart of Rugby, the grassroots game!
The Game
We've taken Fantasy up a notch! We've all got our opinions on team selection; this is your chance to put yours to the test. Select your Dream XV every week, and pit them against your friends, colleagues, or everyone else playing. By partnering with the official data provider of the premiership, we are able to provide a real time, accurate picture of the action on the pitch, bringing you closer than ever. We have developed a comprehensive scoring system, which aims to reward good performances for all the players on the pitch and variable player pricing means form gets rewarded and allows you to make informed decisions.
Advanced Statistics
Over 20 scoring metrics power our player's fantasy scores. We give you access to the most up to date and accurate statistics to empower your team selection and set you up for success.
Prizes
Every round you play enters you into a draw for £500. For each round you&ll also get another entry into the season prize draw for £2,500. The more rounds you play, the more chances you have of winning.
Win for your club
When you enter you can choose to support your local grassroots club. Your points will go towards their score and the highest scoring club will win £2,000 worth of kit and equipment courtesy of Pronto Teamwear.
Support charities
We're committed to supporting the rugby community and it's charitable organisations. That's why we've committed to donating at least 10% of any profits to charity. As we go forward, we'd love these to be the charities nearest and dearest to you.
