There is
nothing officially up on the ‘Rugby Europe’ website re fixtures 2021-22 beyond
the ‘Championship’ games. Individual unions, though, have posted fixtures on
their web sites so I guess they can’t be regarded as ‘Officially Official’.

This section hopes to cover each
nation’s international rugby stats year-by-year.
This is a work in progress as I
gradually upload the data for each nation. Click on the nation below and see
where I’m up to.
If you can contribute to this data either by noticing errors or by adding to
what I don’t have then contact me at rugint@bigpond.net.au
A special thanks to Stuart Farmer whose data on scrum.com for the main nations
is, in most cases, my comparison.

LATEST DATA ADDITION TO THIS WEB
SITE (30/04/2020)
A special welcome to Giles Etienne and his
rugby data research work on test rugby point scorers for tier 2 and below
nations.
Firstly, my apologies to Giles. This has been
a work in progress for some time. There have been many delays on my part. But
we have made it. Giles has an introduction below to his work.
Tier 2-3 NATIONS POINT SCORERS. Compiled by Giles Etienne
Introduction
I started
to list the players who have scored in the 3rd unions opposing
matches for more than 20 years now thanks to the emergence of internet.
But I had
begun to be interested in statistics in rugby for much longer, actually as far
back as I can remember. I must say that I do not know where it comes from,
compiling the statistics in sport is not really in the French mentality, rather
Anglo-Saxon. At the time (I was a teenager), I started making sheets about the
players of the XV of France; today, I was able to develop the complete
dictionary of all French internationals, with as complete data as possible and
a photo of each one of them.
Then,
gradually, I became interested in foreign players (I mean non-French!), first
the All-Blacks, the British and other 1st unions, then the 2nd
unions, and finally the 3rd unions, as the number of countries involved in
test-matches increased.
Data below
are from a systematic compilation of all the match sheets and reports I have
gathered since 2001 (but quite complete only from 2011), plus various books,
booklets, annuals and Unions web pages. I would like here to pay tribute for
the work done by the continental associations and World Rugby to publish the
match sheets; Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania; Americas (mostly South America)
are still far behind for that. And many thanks also to everyone around the
world who has the patience and kindness to respond to my requests.
These data
are indicative (a lot of match sheets were incomplete or aberrant, and there
are quite often discrepancies between newspapers reports on the same match),
but fairly representative I think so. For the players of the years 2000~2010,
the tries and point scored is probably by default, due to lack of data, except
for some countries that at some times have published (website, booklets)
complete historical statistics (such as Sweden, Malta, Latvia, Luxembourg,
Hungary, etc. ...).
