Play the Nations Championship on Your Table - North v South for Over the Line

The new Nations Championship does the simplest, biggest thing in rugby: put the north and the south in the same competition and settle it. The Six Nations sides against the Rugby Championship four, plus Fiji and Japan, home and away, finishing on a Finals Weekend where the best of each hemisphere meet.

A perfect tabletop season. So I've rated it for Over the Line - and built a solo campaign on top.

Every nation is rated on the ATK / DEF / KICK system from recent form. You get both fixture windows, blank standings, a 36-match results log, and a Finals Weekend ladder. There's a travel rule too: visitors in the wrong hemisphere start slow, so every match becomes a comeback window.

Then Road to the Final: pick one nation and live their seven-match run. A three-dice week roll, a named talisman, narrative tables and a Championship Diary. By the end you're holding a story, not a results sheet.

Print it, rate it, roll it. Or play the whole championship out on screen with the free Over the Line Match Helper - drop the ratings in and let it run the matches for you.
