      what this is A live match room, not a match report.

      The browser only talks to same-origin APIs. Those proxy ESPN's public rugby feed: 35 live team metrics, every matchday player, and the scoring timeline.

      live behaviour During a match it refreshes itself.

      Live fixtures re-pull the feed roughly every 25 seconds while the tab is visible. After full time the room becomes a replayable stats companion.

      honesty Real numbers or clearly-labelled gaps.

      If a feed is down you get the last good copy marked stale — never invented numbers. The cards below show each source's live status.

      data layer

      Where every number comes from.

      Free, public sources proxied through this site's own API routes with cache-on-read. No keys in the browser, no third-party calls from the page, and the production CSP stays same-origin.
