How The Rankings Work

These cross-competition power rankings compare professional rugby union clubs across major leagues using a standings-based rating model. Each team’s rating is shaped by record, point differential, league strength, previous rating and major knockout competition status.

Champions Cup semifinalists receive an added boost because those results provide the strongest cross-league signal, while Challenge Cup semifinalists receive a smaller adjustment. The model also uses league-specific caps and movement limits, so strong records in developing or lower-strength competitions do not outweigh proven performance in deeper leagues.

The rankings are meant to estimate current club strength across competitions, not simply mirror domestic league tables.

A FloRugby annual subscription provides access to live matches and replays from the URC, Gallagher PREM Rugby, Top 14 and EPCR competitions throughout the global rugby season.
