REP WAR ROOM
Everything you need to run the app — screen by screen. The same guide applies to every Test.
The REP War Room is your private team app for each Test. It holds the match plan, the coaches’ notes and clips, the team chat and more — all in one place, and always up to date. You have view-only access: read, watch and listen to everything; the coaches keep it current.
Every screen has the same bar across the top. These six buttons are how you move around the app. The round badge on the far left shows your initials — tap it to see or edit your own contact details.
A ‘Back’ button also appears when you open a page — it returns you to the previous screen.
Tap Me for your match-day hub. It gathers the fixture, the countdown to kick-off, the latest venue weather, the day’s schedule and the coaches’ messages — all on one screen.
Also here: tap ‘✓ I’ve read the match plan’ so the coaches know you’re across it. Once the match-day 23 is named, a ‘My goal for this Test’ box appears for you to fill in. Tap ‘Got it’ on any coach message so they can see who has seen it.
Tap Plan to see the game broken into sections — Attack, Defence, Kicking, Set-piece, Opposition, Media, Springbok Squad, What-If Session and more. Tap a tile to open a section, then tap a page to read it. A section only appears once the coaches add content to it.
The What-If Session tile is always there (Chapter 6). Everything you see is exactly what the coaches uploaded.
Open a section, then tap a page. Team plans, line-outs, images and full PDF documents open just like a web page — scroll to read, pinch to zoom on the pictures. What the coaches upload is exactly what you see, arrows and all. It’s often best viewed in landscape.
The Springbok Squad section on the Plan screen gathers the team’s own info for the Test. Open a tile to read it — it’s all view-only.
On your ★ Me page you get a private ⚔️ My battle rate card — tap the heading to open it. Only you and the coaches can see your own card.
The Opposition section holds the coaches’ notes, dossiers and clips on who we’re playing. Open a tile to read or watch.
Where the coaches add an interactive selector (like the All Blacks permutations), tap a name at each position to build a possible opposition line-up and open their profiles — a quick way to picture how they might pick.
What-If Session is its own tile on the Plan screen (it’s always there) and opens straight to the page in one tap. It’s a shared, anonymous list: type any ‘what if…’ scenario or question you want the coaches to work through in the session.
It’s anonymous and honest — if something’s on your mind about the game plan, put it in.
Tap Chat to open the team group chat for this week’s Test — a place everyone can post. It’s text messages only. Your initials show next to each message, and everyone gets a notification when you post. Keep it sharp, positive and relevant to the Test.
Tap Quiz to answer a quick quiz or poll from the coaches. On a quiz you see straight away if you got it right — the correct answer is highlighted with a ✓ and the other options fade away. A poll just gathers the group’s view, so there’s no wrong answer.
Tap Inbox to see every notification you haven’t read yet — it’s the reliable backstop if a push is ever delayed. It clears once you’ve seen them. At the very top is your notifications switch.
On your Me page there’s a quick daily wellness check — a few yes/no taps on how you’re feeling, plus a note if you want to add one. It takes about 30 seconds.
Every screen has a gold ‘? Help’ button in the bottom-right. It opens a plain-English guide to the whole app — the same topics as this manual, always up to date.
This plan is confidential. Your initials and the date sit at the bottom of every page, and the app blurs when you switch away — so please don’t screenshot or share anything. It’s for the squad only.
