Stop hunting for rugby.
Fixtures, scores, and live updates scattered across ten apps, finally pulled into one.
The fans who care most get the worst apps
Rugby fans read the game deeper than most. The apps they're stuck with stop at the scoreline.
Every competition in one place: URC, Champions Cup, internationals, Currie Cup down to schools
A half-time soundbite from the broadcaster
Stats that explain the game: territory, momentum, set-piece, player ratings
A soccer-first app that never bothered to localise for rugby
Fast, clean and free, an app that respects their time
A dated rugby app that paywalls the basics
The result: the fans most worth winning are the ones nobody's building for.

Rugby today is football a decade ago
Ten years ago football fans had the passion and rubbish apps. The two that went deep on data, FotMob and SofaScore, ran away with the whole category. Rugby is at that exact point now, except the data, tools and distribution already exist on day one.
- An SMS service growing into an app
- Sparse data, no mainstream analytics yet
- A World Cup about to ignite global interest
- One founder, working nights and weekends
- Opta-grade data available off the shelf today
- Cloud and mobile make depth cheap to ship
- App stores, creators and WhatsApp distribute from day one
- A proven path to copy, not a bet to test
Rugby attention spikes every four years. Last cycle, 26% of all rugby search happened during the World Cup alone. Back us now and we hit the 2027 World Cup at full speed, not from a standing start.
Fans already show up for worse apps
Demand isn't the question. It's just trapped in mediocre, paywalled, soccer-first apps. That's the gap.
The demand is proven and the quality bar is on the floor. Blitz Rugby clears it.
Win South Africa first, then grow outward
Sized bottom-up from monthly rugby viewers. We start where rugby runs deepest and we're best connected.
The apps that won football never needed its scale. FotMob and SofaScore hit 20M+ users and eight-figure revenue on ads alone, $0 raised. We're chasing a smaller crowd worth far more per head: rugby punters deposit more and earn more than the soccer mass-market. Fewer fans, higher value, almost no competition.
Everyone fails on depth, UX or price, usually all three
| App | Deep rugby data | Local coverage (Currie Cup, schools) |
Fast, clean UX | No paywall |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blitz Rugby | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Ultimate Rugby | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ | ✕ |
| SofaScore | ✓ | ✕ | ✓ | ✓ |
| SuperSport | ✕ | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ |
| Flashscore | ✕ | ✕ | ✓ | ✓ |
SofaScore and Flashscore are soccer-first with no rugby localisation. SuperSport sits behind a DStv subscription. Ultimate Rugby is rugby-only but paywalled, with a dated UI and a ~3.5★ rating. Nobody owns deep, local rugby data in a fast, free app, so that's the one we're building.
We sell attention, not access
No paywall, ever. At half-time every eye moves from the TV to the phone. Same minute, every match, and those live, in-play fans are exactly who sportsbooks pay to reach.
We start where the winners started: betting affiliate revenue (sign-ups plus a cut of what they wager) and premium ad slots for the big sportsbooks. The same engine that took FotMob and SofaScore to eight figures on $0 raised.
Revenue figures are illustrative projections based on market research and comparable-company benchmarks, not a forecast or guarantee.
