For nearly two decades, Opta data has been the driving force behind professional rugby’s adoption of data-driven analysis to inform game plans, player development and evaluation. Now, a range of new AI-powered predictive metrics are helping you and your analysts add a new dimension to performance and recruitment profiling.
Each year, detailed Opta data is captured from over 3,000 men’s and women’s matches across both codes. In every game over 10,500 contextual qualifiers, linked to each event, are recorded.
This data is now being used to train AI models which are powering a range of predictive insights to inform key decision-making in your coaches’ box during a game. These include:
