Original framing
Feed cards may retain a publisher’s headline and a short attributed excerpt. Original guides are labelled separately. We do not claim first-hand reporting, interviews or human editorial review where these have not taken place.
Editorial Policy
How Rugby Dispatch chooses and writes stories
Rugby Dispatch uses automation to monitor rugby sources, but the published site is shaped by editorial rules that favour useful rugby context over copied headlines, empty clips or shallow summaries.
Standards
Our publishing rules
Selection criteria
A story is more likely to be included when it affects form, selection, injuries, coaching, playoff pressure, player movement, competition structure, attendance, broadcast value or long-term growth of the game.
Source handling
News cards link to the original report. Video panels distinguish transcript-based summaries, selected caption excerpts, uploader descriptions and unavailable summaries. AI-assisted explainers link to primary sources for rule summaries and distinguish interpretation from observed facts.
Corrections and removals
If a story is misplaced, stale, misleading, duplicated or too thin, it can be rewritten or removed in the next update. Readers can contact Rugby Dispatch by email at elemtv@gmail.com for corrections or source suggestions.
