Podcast S2E04 : “Super Rugby AU & the future of Aussie rugby in general” featuring Brendon Shields of analytics site Rugbycology

My guest this week is Brendon Shields, who provides brilliant analytics for clubs at all levels of the game via his site Rugbycology. A South African based in Queensland, Brendon talked to me about the post-COVID version of Super Rugby in Australia with a big top of the table clash coming this weekend, and we also discussed the current state of the sport down there from media coverage and popularity to plans for its future.

PODCAST : Ep 37 : “Measuring rugby efficiency” featuring Brendon Shields of Rugbycology.com

This week my Back and Forward chat is with Brendon Shields from Rugbycology.com.  

We talked about the valuable data and analytics he provides in real time for coaches, mostly at schools level, as well as crunching some interesting numbers from the first two rounds of the Six Nations.  Then since Brendon happens to be a fan of both Leinster and the Cheetahs, we also discussed the match this weekend at the RDS, as well as his overall thoughts on the South African experiment in the Pro 14.
