Hey rugby fans.

I have updated the rosters for the PC game - Rugby Champions.
I have updated the teams to 2025 squads using several sources.

The competitions included;

SRP = Super Rugby Pacific
Top 14
URC
Premiership = English Premiershp
ECC = European Champions Cup
World League = 20 Clubs from the top rugby competitions
Six Nations
Rugby Championship
Tier 1 = Top 8 Tier 1 International Teams
RWC = 2023 Rugby World Cup
Roster02 OR French = My attempt to created a combined Top 14 & Pro D2 Comp.
(Would love to get in touch with the developers to see how to do promotion / relegation between 2 leagues).

Bunnings NPC 2022 = Thinking I might update this as the 2025 teams have just been named.
Generic = I made a custom competition with fake teams and names for fun.

To play this mod, unzip the folder to your Rugby Champions 'initgames' folder which is likely in the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rugby Champions\custdata\initgames

Start a new game and select one of the new rosters, or customise them as you see fit / correct any errors.

Massive thanks. Nice to have for the best rugby game around : )
Can't get the Top 14 to launch though, did you chnage anything in the DB that could prevent this? I'll have a nother look tomorow.
Thanks for the hard work !
 
Hi, @Hankstrom @ama1 I'm coming late but I think I understood why it doesn't work for the top 14. At the first round Toulouse should play against Vannes but the problem is that the team that is here is not Vannes but Oyonnax and I think it's creating a bug.
First thank you very much for your work Ama cause you make the game really better but I just want to report a couple of bugs/errors too.

1/ As said before the Top 14 roster won't simulate after the first day (because of the bug we spoke above I think). The other small error here is that this year the new team in the competition is Montauban which is still in Pro D2 in the game
2/ In Roster 02/France the game always simulate a first game and I don't know why. For example if I play La Rochelle, I can play the 26 days of regular Top 14 Tournament but I always have a first game against Clermont which is simulated before I can play (and the result does count for leaderboard)
3/ In some teams the rosters are not up to date (for example La Rochelle without Nolan Le Garrec), sometimes the players are not at the good position (I think about France in the six nations roster)
4/ It's more a question that a report but why does all the teams have a really close overall (For example in Top 14 every teams are really close)? Is it a design choice? Does it has an impact (I have the feeling that I prefer the team with 70 overall over the team with 80 as last year but I'm not sure if it has a real impact or if it's just an illusion)?

Do you think you can correct some of this bugs @ama1 ?
If here I'm showing a lot of negative stuff, as I said, I really love the work you put to keep the game alive :)!!
 
Thanks Timtom for the feedback. I redid the rosters as best I could and reuploaded below.

I fixed the Toulouse bug (one of the Toulouse players - Thomas Lacrombe had a null value for SuperBoot which caused the game to freeze when loading the stats). I tested it and the game played through without freezing.

The reason for the really close stats is basically laziness. I did the rosters using a spreadsheet.

Downloaded all the squads from AllRugby.com or UltimateRugby.com.

When I needed to create a player that I didn't have on my previous roster, I copied and pasted a generic template player for each position and then renamed them, changed their look until the roster was full. This time, I have tried to give everyone their own individual stats, which should improve the gameplay somewhat.

I haven't gotten around to adding the 2025-26 Top 14 Squads, but that will be my next goal.

Hi @ama1! Thank you very much for the update and your rapidity! It resolved the bug for the top 14 but now the competition is divided in two conferences and only in 21 matches (The real top 14 is 14 teams league and 26 games before playoff games)
 
I tried to get rid of the conferences and put teams in one division.
Can you please try this and let me know if it works.
I did a small test and it seemed to work (one game played).

For all 2025 Mods, I will upload here;

Just added 2025-26 Top14 competition.

The team rankings are slightly off (as I am unsure how they calculate this)

Any issues let me know.
