Parameters

• name: The player's name.
• pos: The position in which the player plays. You can use any of the options below:
  1. PR for Prop;
  2. HK for Hooker;
  3. LK for Lock;
  4. SR for Second row;
  5. BR for Back row;
  6. FL for Flanker;
  7. N8 for Number 8;
  8. SH for Scrum-half;
  9. FH for Fly-half;
  10. OH for Outside-half;
  11. CE for Centre;
  12. WG for Wing;
  13. FB for Fullback;
  14. HB for Half-back;
  15. FF for First five-eighth.
• club: The club, franchise, or province for which the player plays domestically
• clubnat: The club's national affiliation. 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 he represents in international rugby union. This should not violate MOS:FLAG, and according to the Manual of Style if the use of flags in a list, table or infobox makes it unclear, ambiguous or controversial, it is better to remove the flags even if that makes the list, table or infobox inconsistent with others of the same type where no problems have arisen.
• caps: The number of official caps a player has accumulated as recognised by the national team's governing body.
• age: The players age/birthdate.
