Rugby Group Programme Standings Widget

The Group Programme Standings widget combines two views: for each group in a stage it shows the table and the fixtures for that same group together.

The fastest way to add a Rugby widget: hover any block and click the Rugby icon directly — no need to open the full block picker and search a category list.

Preconditions

Your project must have the Rugby feature enabled. Widget categories are switched on per project, so if Rugby widgets does not appear in the block picker, ask your administrator to enable it.
You need permission to create or edit articles.
The stage you choose must have groups. A knockout stage has none.

To set up the widget:

Open an article for editing, or create a new one.
Hover over a block in the article body. A row of icons appears, one for each sport enabled on your project — the Rugby icon is highlighted here.
Select the Rugby icon, then choose Group Programme Standings from the widget list that opens.
Set the widget options. Competition, Season, Stage, Stage groups and others control what it shows.
Check the options are the ones you want. Some fields depend on others, so a list can be empty until you set the field above it.
When done, select Save Block.
Hover the widget block and select the preview control to see the real widget.

Competition (required) — The competition whose data you want to show.
Season — The season within the chosen competition. Options depend on which competition you selected above.
Stage — Limits the widget to a single stage of the competition, such as a group phase or a knockout round.
Stage groups — Limits the widget to specific groups within the selected stage.
Display widget header — Shows the widget’s own heading above its content.
Refresh time — Controls how often the published widget refetches its data. Leave empty to use your project’s global refresh setting.

What the Rugby Group Programme Standings Widget shows

Rugby tables use the same column set as most team sports, since a rugby match can end in a draw:

MP — matches played: how many matches the team has completed
W — won: matches the team won
D — drawn: matches that ended level
L — lost: matches the team lost
GD — goal difference: points scored minus points conceded (labelled provisional in the underlying data)
PTS — points: competition points earned

Preview of the Rugby Group Programme Standings Widget

The widget shows each group in turn, with its table and its fixtures side by side.

Good to know

Only the preview shows the real widget. The collapsed block and the options panel show a CMS summary card instead — always check preview before publishing.

The preview area is narrower than a published page, so the widget uses its compact layout there and may hide columns that the published version shows.
The widget always renders whichever version of the sports widgets library your project is on. There is no version to set.
This covers Rugby Union and Rugby League alike — which competitions and matches are available depends on your project’s data, not on the widget itself.
If your development team integrates this data directly through the API rather than through this CMS, the sport key to use is rugby_union, not rugby — the CMS handles this translation for you automatically.
