How the Ledger worksDerivedDatedSourcedFree

Derived: Every figure is counted by IRL Rugby from official team sheets, match centres and governing-body match records, and marked derived.
Dated: Each fact shows the date it was true. When a fact goes out of date it drops off these lists; its fact page stays as a dated record.
Sourced: Each fact links to the record it comes from. Behind the data lists every record we checked.
Free: The Ledger is free to read. No paid tier, no ads, no betting. IRL Rugby is independent: not the IRFU, a province or RTÉ.
