WRU Digital Team Sheets

The WRU Rugby Development Department is excited to announce the launch of the ‘WRU Team Manager Application’ to manage team sheets and registration for Youth and Senior, male and womens and girls National Leagues, in preparation for mandatory use in the 23/24 season.

Please access this web page via your mobile device before installing the application as the application will NOT work from a desktop or laptop computer.

• Once you have accessed this web page via your mobile device please click here: teamsheets.wru.wales to download the application (please watch the tutorial videos before installing)
• Please click HERE to watch the overview of the features within the application.
• Please click HERE to watch the webinar training regarding WRU Digital Team Sheets from 07-08-23

Please follow the simple instruction to add the application to your device:

For queries and questions please email: teamsheets@wru.wales where a team of dedicated WRU staff are on hand to support the use of the platform.

Please watch the WRU Webinar Training in the link above for instructions to add the application to your home screen of your phone. For this information please go to 06:14 minutes in the video timeline.

Please note that existing methods of team sheet entry such as handing a paper team sheet to the referee prior to kick off is a 'BACK UP' only option for the 23/24 season. If for any reason a mobile device cannot be used (ie. such as a device running out of battery) a paper team submission to the referee may be used. However, we must reiterate that paper team sheet submission is a 'BACK UP' only option and that digital team sheet submission via the 'WRU Team Sheet' app is mandatory.

Please ensure that your players are registered for the forthcoming season, and they have been verified by the club to enable their profile status to update to ‘Active’. Players will only appear on the Team Sheet Manager application if their playing status is ‘Active’. To confirm, if a player has not registered or has not yet been verified by the club, they will NOT appear on the WRU Team Manager application for selection.

The application will reduce the administration for Team Managers and Coaches, support players through their player development journey whilst also providing fantastic participation insight for clubs and the WRU to ensure the continued success of community rugby.

Good luck for the 23/24 season from the WRU Rugby Development team.
