Rugby Match Center Widget
Add a full rugby match view to a post.
The Match Center widget brings several views of one rugby match together behind a tab bar, shown above the scoreboard for that match.
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.
- This widget is match-scoped, so you need a specific match rather than a competition.
Adding the Rugby Match Center Widget to a post
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 Match Center from the widget list that opens.

- Set the widget options. Team, Display main events, Refresh time 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.

- Setting a team reveals a list of that team’s matches, grouped under Upcoming games, Past games and Interrupted games tabs. Select the specific match you want — the widget has nothing to show until one is checked.

- When done, select Save Block.

- Hover the widget block and select the preview control to see the real widget.
Rugby Match Center Widget options
- Team (required) — The team whose data you want to show. Type to search.
- Display main events — Highlights standout events (such as decisive plays) directly on the match card, for sports that record them.
- Refresh time — Controls how often the published widget refetches its data. Leave empty to use your project’s global refresh setting.
What the Rugby Match Center Widget shows
The tabs available depend on what data the match has. Typically these cover:
- Information — starting lineups: both squads, split into starters and substitutes
- Timeline — match events: the sequence of scoring events, half by half, in order
- Standings — group table: the table for the group this match belongs to
Preview of the Rugby Match Center Widget
The widget shows the match scoreboard with the tab bar underneath.

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.
