I use their main site everyday here in America. https://www.espn.com/

Here's the rugby site link. https://www.espn.com/rugby/

Yes, that's the link I use - if you look at the top line after 'countries' it used to say 'stats' which was an invaluable source of information on players and matches. For a few days clicking on it just went back to the home page, now it is gone altogether

Yeah looks like ESPN statbunker has been discontinued
They didn't even have autumn nations cups results on there before

I wonder why - it was really useful. I have tried, so far without success, to find an alternative

Hi Mike. My guess is it has something to do with their recent lay offs. 300 people lost their jobs at ESPN earlier this month. Television is their main source of income so they probably laid off people working on their website and social media first. It's a bummer, but Covid-19 has hit businesses hard, even ESPN. Hopefully when this pandemic is over they'll get that website up and running the way it once was.

Ah, thanks for the update - under those circumstances it is very understandable
Regards
Mike
