Introduction

Welcome to this Rugby Union Performance Analysis Archive.

I have been involved in the analysis of rugby union since 1978. I have a paper archive of real-time and lapsed-time analyses that dates back to 1980.

My aim is to share some of these analyses here to contribute to our understanding of the historical context of performance analysis in rugby union.
