While I know that rugby is something of a niche sport for many of you reading, for some of us it’s practically a national pastime. With that being said, I’m sure that there’ll be many confused older gentlemen at the matches wondering why the familiar top-hat-wearing Monopoly Man is so prominently on display.

It’s certainly unsurprising the Six Nations chose Monopoly Go as their choice for a team-up considering that it’s proven to be a massive hit for Scopely. Maybe we’ll see even more unusual team-ups for this hit release as a result? We’ll have to wait and see.
