Editorial policy

Clear Rugby Review aims to make rugby easier to understand while staying careful about what an explanation can establish. We write with curiosity, distinguish fact from interpretation and make room for the game’s context.

Accuracy and context

We check factual descriptions against appropriate information available to us and take care with the wording of laws, roles and match situations. Rugby can vary by format and competition; where a distinction matters, we say so rather than presenting one context as universal. Our articles are explanatory, not substitutes for current competition materials or an official decision.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for the interests of readers and the subject, not as a condition of a commercial relationship. We do not promise favourable coverage, and a partnership does not determine an editorial conclusion.

Corrections

If a reader spots a factual error or an unclear explanation, they can contact us with the article and the point at issue. We review correction requests and update material when warranted; significant changes should be made clear to readers.

Partner material and illustrations

Any sponsored article, paid placement or partner contribution is labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; when that is the case, the image is identified accordingly.
