Number in Pack: 10

Size: 62mm wide x 100mm high with rounded corners.

Details: The promo packs of these cards were issued with a souvenir edition of Rugby News magazine titled Rugby World Cup 2007 - The Ultimate Guide.

The publicity included with the magazine indicated that there was one "Super" Top trump in every pack. The "Super" card in the pack opened by the author was Doug Howlett; were there others?

Three cards in the promo pack were different to those in the normal Top Trumps Pack:

Doug Howlett with "Exclusive Super Top Trumps card" back. (Doug Howlett not in standard pack).
Chris Jack with "How to Play" back. (Standard Chris Jack card has part of jigsaw back).
Josevata Rokocoko with "Design Your Own" back. (Standard Josevata Rokocoko card has part of jigsaw back).

In the standard pack the "How to Play" and "Design your own" designs were stand-alone cards and not on the back of player cards.
