This is a shout out to Sean O’Connor for creating and sharing this repo. It’s super clean and follows some best practices on how the data is displayed, format, structure, etc so it’s super easy to start playing around.

Using a Python package like rugbypy gives you direct access to rich, structured rugby data, from match results and team stats to detailed player performance, which is awesome to get more hands-on experience with real sports datasets.

You can load and explore the data, compute meaningful performance metrics, test hypotheses and build interactive visualizations to tell stories from the numbers. It’s perfect for creating a project that demonstrates your analytical workflow: pull data programmatically, clean and transform it with tools like pandas, visualize trends with libraries like matplotlib or plotly, and even prototype custom metrics for scouting or reporting. The more you work end-to-end, the more you show your work and deepen your understanding of both Python and sports analytics, making your portfolio stand out.
