Scoring is a floor. World Rugby's timeline credits some tries to nobody, so a match where the players' points do not add up to the score may be missing this player's. 2 of 5 of his matches add up; appearances and minutes are unaffected. Never used by the model.
Only players in the same position for the same side are offered, and a position is read from the jerseys a player started in wherever the record holds any. Scoring in rugby sits in a handful of positions, so points cannot order a prop against a fly-half, and a career total says nothing about who is the better player — these are counts of what happened, not a rating. The heavier figure in each row is the larger one; the cards row is left unmarked, because more of them is not more of a good thing.

* the players' points in that match do not add up to the recorded score, so a scorer is uncredited and this row may be short.
