Just what is going on here?
Rugby4Cast was the first 4Cast site and the origin of everything you see here. What started out with simply tracking rugby results and their effects on the World Rugby rankings evolved into predictions, articles and analysis and then on into other sports and bespoke services.
Ultimately though it falls under the same premise as everything else we do – data should improve the engagement and decision making in sport. Hopefully the information around here helps you understand the events, the teams, their chances and what you should be looking out for – and helps guide you in which events and matches you should be following and watching.
So how do these work?
Essentially, we have a database that contains every international rugby match ever played since the first one back in 1871 (Scotland v England in Edinburgh, if youโre interested), and the majority of club matches worldwide.
Broadly speaking, our predictions model largely works off a proprietary rankings system (which you can see on the various events pages), but it also looks at other things like rest periods, home advantage and scoring patterns in historical games – both in head to head matches and overall – to work out an expected score for each team based on location and current ranking.
More accurately speaking, this means thatโฏeach predicted score is actually a metric to describe the relative historical strength of the two teams, based on their performances over previous years. However, we think it is more fun to think of them as predictions. At the very least, it certainly serves to provoke the trolls lurking onโฏTwitter. You know who you are!
Back in the day, before we set up this rather professional looking website that you currently find yourself on, one of the first things that everyone always asked us when discussing the predictions was โฆ
โAnd do you bet on these?โ
And the answer, for years and years, was always โฆ
โNo. No we donโt actually.โ
So, as much to allow for greater scope in conversation as anything else, we decided a few years ago to look at making recommendations based on the predictions.
Our first few forays were fairly disastrous, but weโve worked on the approach and now seem to have something that works. Weโre fairly open about whatโs going on – this isnโt some nefarious affiliates site that will disappear – so click around some of the links below to see whatโs what.
