How to Detect Rugby Metrics

What is the Rugby Suite?

The Rugby Suite allows an OpenField user the ability to capture, analyse and view Rugby Union specific metrics. This allows for better informed decisions on load management and allows users to gain Rugby specific performance insights.

The Rugby Suite allows data to be collected for the following Rugby events: Scrums, Contact Involvements, Lineout Jumps and Kicks.

How to set up the Rugby Suite? 

OpenField Cloud Rugby module and plugin must be applied to your account. If you wish to add the plugin and module to your account, please contact support for assistance. Once the module/plugin has been added to your account, please complete a sync and restart your OpenField Console.
