About the scholarship

Theme

Personalised performance and team performance

At any one point in a rugby game, only one player can be in possession of the ball, but their actions depend on what their 14 teammates and 15 opponents are doing.  A line break, for instance, is not down only to the player with the ball.  It may have been created by the lines other attacking players were running, or it could be prevented by the defence repositioning quickly after a ruck.  Tracking this effort, or the amount of information a player takes on board before making a decision is challenging.

  • Can we develop AI solutions to track off-ball effort?
  • Can we monitor how players scan the field?
  • Can we use this information to better assess the impact of each player on the game?
