What you’ll find in our Rugby coverage

Match reports: Fast summaries that tell you the score, decisive moments, and the standout players. For example, the Six Nations piece on England v Scotland focuses on the pivotal penalty and a late lineout steal that turned the game.

Player and team news: Who’s back, who’s injured, and what changes coaches are making. These notes matter for fantasy picks, weekend bets, or just knowing why a team looks different from last month.

Tactical notes: Short, clear takes on how teams try to win. You’ll read about scrum battles, lineout plans, kicking strategies and defensive shapes without jargon. If a coach switches to a kick-heavy game or rolls with a tall lock at the lineout, we explain why it worked or didn’t.
