Built the same way as the national ratings but only from matches since July 2024: World Rugby's feed stores older club results as 0-0, so there is just over one warm-up season. Ratings are points of expected margin against an average club in the pooled set (URC, Premiership, Top 14, Super Rugby, Champions Cup and others). Home advantage is worth about 7.5 points. Not compared with World Rugby's formula, which has no club version.
