Rugby match day
Pick the XV. Run the bench. Keep the record.
SetPiece runs match day the way you actually live it: a lineup
built from real availability, sub calls with cap tracking while
the game runs, and a result that lands on your season record the
moment the whistle goes — even when the pitch has no signal.
Free private beta. We'll email you when it opens.
How it works
Built around how a Saturday actually runs.
Team-sheet on Thursday, bench calls at half-time, score in the
clubhouse, minutes nobody wrote down. SetPiece holds all four —
and each one feeds the next.
Smart lineups and sub calls
The lineup builder is per-mode — a 15s XV with a bench, or
10s and 7s with their own shapes and rolling subs. Smart-fill
suggests starters by position and band fit from real
availability; you lock the players you're sure of and let it
fill the rest. During the match, sub suggestions track caps
as you make changes, so the bench empties fairly and legally.
- Per-mode lineups: 15s, 10s and 7s, each with the right shape.
- Smart-fill suggestions from availability, position and band fit.
- Sub suggestions with cap tracking — no counting on fingers at half-time.
- Tournament day-squad rotation reports for multi-game days.
Season record and results
Record the final score before you've left the pitch and it
rolls straight into a W-D-L season record with points for and
against, right on the dashboard. No league website to chase,
no note that says 'won by about 10'. The season builds itself
one Saturday at a time.
- W-D-L record and points for/against on the home dashboard.
- Match results recorded in seconds, on the touchline.
- CSV export of results, roster and attendance when the club asks.
Player minutes and fair rotation
Minutes come from the lineups you commit and the subs you
record — nobody keeps a stopwatch. Alongside per-player
attendance rates, they power rotation-fairness hints in
selection: the picker flags who's played every minute of
every fixture and who hasn't seen the pitch in three weeks,
before the parents mention it.
- Minutes derived from committed lineups plus recorded substitutions.
- Attendance rates per player, from training roll-calls.
- Rotation-fairness hints surface in selection, not in a report you forget to run.
Offline on the touchline
Half the pitches you'll coach on this season have no signal.
Attendance, substitutions and match results all save locally
and sync when the signal comes back — with a visible queue
indicator so you can see exactly what's waiting. Nothing
waits for a bar of 4G, and nothing gets lost in the car park.
- Attendance, subs and results save with no signal at all.
- Automatic sync when the connection returns.
- A visible queue indicator — you always know what's pending.
Why a rugby match-day tool, not a clipboard
The team-sheet is the least of it.
Paper team-sheet
- Gone by Monday, along with the minutes.
- Re-picked from memory when someone cries off Friday night.
- No record of who's played and who's sat.
WhatsApp + memory
- Subs agreed on the touchline, recorded nowhere.
- Score in the chat, season record in nobody's head.
- 'Has Tom had a start recently?' — genuinely unknown.
Generic team app
- No positions, no bands, no cap tracking.
- Falls over the moment the pitch has no signal.
- Doesn't know 7s from 15s.
SetPiece
- Smart lineups from real availability, per mode.
- Sub suggestions with cap tracking, live.
- Minutes and rotation fairness, derived automatically.
- Offline saves with a visible sync queue.
Common questions
Rugby match day FAQ
- Does it work without signal on the touchline?
-
Yes. Attendance, substitutions and match results save with no
signal and sync when it returns. A visible queue indicator
shows what's waiting, so you know nothing has been lost.
- How are player minutes tracked?
-
Derived from committed lineups plus the subs you record — no
stopwatch. Together with attendance rates from the
squad roll-call, they feed
rotation-fairness hints in selection.
- Does it handle 15s, 10s and 7s?
-
Yes — the lineup builder is per-mode, with the right shape and
sub rules for each. Smart-fill and cap tracking work in all
three.
- Can it manage a tournament day?
-
Yes. Day-squad rotation reports show who's played, who's sat
and who's due a run across the day's games.
- Where do results go after full time?
-
Onto your dashboard as a running W-D-L record with points for
and against — and out as CSV whenever the club secretary asks.
Saturday, sorted by Thursday.
