Original framing
Story titles are written in Rugby Dispatch's own voice. Summaries are not intended to copy source articles or video descriptions; they explain the rugby significance in a concise standalone paragraph.
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.
Video embeds
When a YouTube video is embedded, the original player is used so viewing remains with YouTube and the uploader's channel. Rugby Dispatch adds editorial context around the video instead of treating the embed as the whole article.
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 through the contact form for corrections or source suggestions.
