There are more than 1000 players identified in the Super Rugby union. This data is composed by beginner or experienced players. It represent more than 100 competition matches.
The presentation of the players is statically compared. It is strange in first approach . But we should consider that each player are different and have their speciality. It is exactly what the following map represent.

In extracting these informations, we categorize the style of players in three area.
The first area corresponds to run, scrums and mauls. It is on the right part of the map. The players on thhis area has a capability oriented on forward roles. The player named Keven Mealamu, Allblack and one of the best hooker in New Zealand, is one of the best to make runs, mauls or scrums. It is exactly what we need for a Hooker. The map appears more clear.
The second Area corresponds to the Passes, Possessions and Turnovers. Clearly, it describes players who are playing quickly in the field. If we look the player named Sosene Anesi , we can extrapolate his capacity regarding his role in the game. He is a Wing or a Fullback. He is completely corresponding by this kind of players that need free playing area to avance.
The third area describes players that have the capacity to make Kick, Goals and Drop. These players win by their foot. Kick is one of the aspect of a rugby game. It is why this specialities is not open to all.
