About

ABOUT

Publications and media reports related to Rugby Vision Rugby Vision (RV) is a suite of statistical models that predicts outcomes for major rugby competitions. For each game, RV calculates the expected score margin and the probability of each team winning. RV also calculates the probability of each team obtaining various milestones in a tournament. For more on RV’s methods, see our  2019 Rugby World Cup preview. RV is designed by Niven Winchester, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Motu Economic & Public Policy Research.

Before ‘betting the farm’ on Rugby Vision’s predictions, remember that 22/22 vision is like looking into the future while wearing someone else’s glasses: sometimes you get the right prescription, but occasionally it is like trying to focus after being steamrolled by Brodie Retallick!
