Squad Stats

Number of players in each position, indicating squad depth. Darker segments indicate players with more appearances.

Count mode allows you to switch between views:

• Selected position - view players in the selected position, so see how many different players have played that position
• Primary position - view what position each player primarily plays

Shows the balance of players who have only appeared for one squad versus players who have featured in both squads within each season.

A smaller middle section (e.g. 2019/20) suggests two fairly distinct groups of 1st team and 2nd team players.

A larger middle section (e.g. 2024/25) suggests more of a "one squad" approach with fewer players exclusively in the 1st XV. and 2nd team players.

Season-by-season view of players used in each squad, broken down by forwards and backs.

Large playing squads are clearly a good thing, but too many players can indicate a lack of consistency.

Average number of players returning to the starting XV after being selected to start in the previous game.

Higher values indicate a more settled squad, in terms of availability and consistency of selection.

If 10 players return from the previous game (roughly average for the 1st XV), that means there are 5 changes to the starting XV.

A quick snapshot view of the results through the season:

• Green bars indicate wins, red bars indicate losses.
• The size of the bar indicates the margin of victory or defeat.
• The most recent game is at the top, and the first game of the season is at the bottom.
