Editorial policy

Inspired Rugby Journal aims to make rugby easier to understand without pretending that every club, team or playing situation is the same. We distinguish general explanation from instruction that depends on context.

Accuracy and clarity

We check names, terminology and factual claims before publication, and write so that specialist terms have enough context for a general reader. Where a subject depends on a particular competition's rules or a person's circumstances, we say so rather than presenting one answer as universal.

Independence and corrections

Editorial choices are made for reader interest and relevance to rugby, not as a condition of a partnership. If a reader spots an error, they can use the Contact page to tell us what appears wrong and where. We review correction requests and make clear changes when warranted.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid or partner material is labelled clearly so readers can distinguish it from editorial coverage. A commercial relationship does not guarantee editorial approval or a favourable mention. Some illustrations may be generated with AI; where used, they are illustrative rather than documentary depictions.
