Tools for WPRU users[edit]

Players[edit]

Men[edit]

  • scrum.com - Complete records of every test played.
  • RugbyData.com - Provides statistics and records. Can be used to complete data tables such as the international rugby team infobox. Has a few errors, and is missing some games - for example: it lists Lithuania and Argentina as having the most consecutive wins with 20. However, all other reliable record sites lists the record with Lithuania with 18. The error is that some games are missing (losses) and there are double ups or non-full internationals.
  • Player profiles from 6 nations - Short profiles on every 6N squad player, can be the basis of a stub
  • IRFU player profiles - New, previously the IRFU gave only brief details
  • WRU player profiles - Good profiles
