Template:Rugby squad player/doc

This template is used to display a rugby union player squad in a standard format.

Most squads are split into two vertical columns. For these, you can use the {{Rugby squad start}}, {{Rugby squad mid}} and {{Rugby squad end}} templates to help with the layouting, and then use this template repeatedly within them:

{{Rugby squad start}}

{{Rugby squad player|name=#PLAYER_NAME|nat=#NATIONALITY|pos=#POS_OR_ROLE}}

{{Rugby squad player|name=#PLAYER_NAME|nat=#NATIONALITY|pos=#POS_OR_ROLE|other=#OTHER_RELATED_INFO}}

...

{{Rugby squad mid}}

{{Rugby squad player|name=#PLAYER_NAME|nat=#NATIONALITY|pos=#POS_OR_ROLE}}

...

{{Rugby squad end}}

Alternatively, if you just want a single column, you can omit the use of {{Rugby squad mid}}.

{{Rugby squad start}}

{{Rugby squad player|name=#PLAYER_NAME|nat=#NATIONALITY|pos=#POS_OR_ROLE}}

...

{{Rugby squad end}}

If you just want to add Notes to the table, such as for the teams from which regional players are sourced, you can use the notes parameter.

{{Rugby squad start|notes=yes}}

{{Rugby squad player|name=#PLAYER_NAME|nat=#NATIONALITY|pos=#POS_OR_ROLE|notes=#NOTES}}

...

{{Rugby squad mid|notes=yes}}

{{Rugby squad player|name=#PLAYER_NAME|nat=#NATIONALITY|pos=#POS_OR_ROLE|notes=#NOTES}}

{{Rugby squad end}}

For example, the following code:

{{Rugby squad start}}

{{rugby squad player | nat=IRE | natvar=rugby union | pos=HK | name=Brian Blaney }}

{{rugby squad player | nat=ENG | pos=HK | name=James Buckland }}

{{rugby squad player | nat=Zimbabwe| pos=HK | name=David Paice }}

{{rugby squad player | nat=HKG| pos=PR | name=Alex Corbisiero }}

{{rugby squad player | nat=NZL | pos=PR | name=Clarke Dermody |other=c }}

{{Rugby squad mid|notes=yes}}

{{rugby squad player | nat=SAM | pos=WG | name=Sailosi Tagicakibau }}

{{rugby squad player | nat=Niger| pos=WG | name=Adam Thompstone }}

{{rugby squad player | nat=CVI| pos=FB | name=Delon Armitage }}

{{rugby squad player | nat=CAM| pos=FB | name=Jamie Lennard |other= on loan}}

{{Rugby squad end}}

• nat: The player's nationality. Use the name of the country, or its 3-letter IOC country code, rather than an adjective (e.g. "Spain" or "ESP" instead of "Spanish". "Spanish" will not work). Use the country that the player represents in international rugby union.
• pos: The position in which the player plays. You can use any of the options below:
• PR for {{Rugby squad role|PR}};
• HK for {{Rugby squad role|HK}};
• LK for {{Rugby squad role|LK}};
• SR for {{Rugby squad role|SR}};
• BR for {{Rugby squad role|BR}};
• FL for {{Rugby squad role|FL}};
• N8 for {{Rugby squad role|N8}};
• SH for {{Rugby squad role|SH}};
• FH for {{Rugby squad role|FH}};
• OH for {{Rugby squad role|OH}};
• CE for {{Rugby squad role|CE}};
• WG for {{Rugby squad role|WG}};
• FB for {{Rugby squad role|FB}}.
• Additional valid position abbreviations can be seen at Template:Rugby squad role
• name: The player's name.
• other: This is an optional parameter. You can add any related info to this parameter, like specifying captain, vice-captain, whether the player is on loan, etc. It will show additional info in the brackets after the player name. You do not have to specify it if neither applies.
• notes: This is an optional parameter. You can add any related info to this parameter, like specifying captain, vice-captain, whether the player is on loan, etc. It will show additional info in a separate column after the union. To use this column, you must also specify its use in the {{tl|Rugby squad mid}} and {{tl|Rugby squad start}} templates like this: {{Rugby squad mid|notes=yes}} and {{Rugby squad start|notes=yes}}. You do not have to specify it if neither applies.
