Abstract

The growth and accessibility of performance analysis (PA) is attributed to the growth of modern PA systems and PA companies that provide the services of match coding. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the utilisation of PA among Western Province Super League club rugby coaches. Fifty-one coaches involved at senior and under 20-level teams participated in this study. The study had a response rate of 88%. The study revealed that only 16% of coaches have access to video footage after every game and 82% of coaches do not have access to and do not use computerised notational systems (CNS). Despite the fact that 80% of coaches value PA extremely, the study concluded that PA is not being used by a large majority of coaches in Western Province Rugby Union clubs. It was further concluded that this is due to the availability of PA resources (video equipment and CNS) due to budget restraints.
