The Full 136 Year History of the Six Nations - Visualisation
DIR By: BathSalmon

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I've been at it again.
I've produced a new Visualisation that covers the full 136 Year
history of the Six Nations / Five Nations / Home Nations
Championship (from 1883!)
The Aim:
Produce a visual that could stand as a poster, providing detail
of winners of the major trophies and successful eras of teams.
Whilst also providing added interactivity to the online version,
giving detail of matches and more nation specific annotations.
I also wanted to try and go away from your traditional sports
viz and do something less dashboard-like and more data-art.
Check out the interactive version here:
HTML https://public.tableau.com/views/SixNations136YearHistorySportsVizSunday/FULLHISTORYOFTHESIXNATIONS?:embed=y&:display_count=yes:showVizHome=no
I've tried to pick out key moments in the championship, wish I
had more time to add more comments to the individual nation
views.
Did you know that BOTH England and France have been expelled
from the Championship!?
Cheers
Sam

Very cool. Two small suggestions: it would be marginally easier
to read if you could use the teams’ colours for the bubbles on
the chart, and I think the “winning points” deserves some text
in the main circle rather than just being in the legend (you
could do it subtly by marking the start of bonus points).
Would you be OK with me reposting this to 606v2 and Facebook? I
have friends on both who would really enjoy this. How would you
like it attributed?

Hi
Of course I dont mind if you share it elsewhere! Please do.
The team colours were purely a design choice. I did try using
the team icons instead of the circles etc , but it looked messy
and the icons weren't defined enough to display correctly.
Still it was good fun putting it together.
Cheers
