How the AI builds your rugby team
Rugby pits two complementary worlds against each other: the forwards, who win the ball in the contact phases, and the backs, who exploit it in open play. Building two balanced teams at training means distributing these very distinct profiles without ending up with the whole pack on one side and all the pace on the other.
Draftly knows each player's position and level and uses them to balance pack and back line across the two teams. Gemini AI handles the logic — front row, half-backs, centers, finishers — while you prepare the session. A player doesn't show? You regenerate the lineup in one click.
The group turns up to training with a mix of heavy forwards, sharp half-backs and fast backs. The AI splits the front rows and locks evenly, puts a credible half-back pairing (9-10) on each side and balances the pace on the wings. Two teams capable of a real contest, not a mismatch decided by the draw.
Every rugby position accounted for
You assign each player a position. The AI balances the pack (forwards) and the back line (backs) across the two teams.
Props
Power in the scrum and at contact. The base of the pack, essential in the combat phases.
Hooker
Hooks in the scrum, throws in at the lineout. A technical role at the heart of the forwards.
Locks
Lineout jumpers, scrum engines. Size and aerial dominance.
Back row
Tacklers, jackalers and ball carriers. The link between combat and open play.
Half-backs
Scrum-half and fly-half: they dictate play. The AI puts a credible pair per team.
Backs & fullback
Centers, wings and fullback. Pace, finishing and the last line of defense.

Frequently asked questions
Are front-row and second-row positions differentiated?
Yes. You set each player's precise position (loosehead prop, tighthead prop, hooker, lock, flanker/number 8, etc.) and the AI positions them correctly in the lineup.
Can it manage substitutes and the bench?
Yes. The AI generates a lineup with starters and subs based on the number of confirmed attendees and their respective positions.
Does Draftly work for rugby sevens?
Yes. You configure the format of play (15, 7, 5) when you create your team. The AI adapts lineups to the chosen format.
