Getting Started in Rugby Union

Hi, I notice in a number of rugby union leagues, while all the past games are listed, with scores, etc, I cannot find any filename suggestions to get Plex / Kodi to recognise the actual game.
I have copied and pasted the relevant section of the 'download as csv' (for example"652845,2019-11-02,Round 200,England Rugby,12,South Africa Rugby,32," for the Final, and prepended it to my current filename for the video. Plex recognises it as a game from the 2019 Rugby World Cup, but doesn't scrape anything else, only listing it as "Episode 1911027667". Kodi doesn't recognise it at all.
Firstly, I'm not sure I'm naming the files correctly to get the right information in, as that game is listed as the Final in the website / database, but there is no suggested filename as in other events.
Secondly, if there isn't any information, such as team lists, location, a brief match preview, etc. I'd be happy to help enter it (very slowly copy and paste from Wikipedia, for example).
I have no coding capability at all, I see python mentioned, but that's a snake as far as I'm concerned, so I'm not sure why it's here...! I have just joined the site today, as I have some Rugby matches downloaded, and want to see if it's possible to get them more formally organised in some way.
Seems like a lot of work has already gone into it, and as events keep happening, it requires even more input.

Click the "Show Filenames" option at the bottom of any event to see what we suggest.

so for plex it would be:
English.Premiership.Rugby.2023-11-10.Gloucester.vs.Bath.Rugby.mkv


I don't use plex myself but there are people in the below thread or on discord that use it. Might be better posting there for scraping questions.

Thanks for that. I found the suggested filename string eventually. The issue I have now, is that Plex recognises it has a game from a particular tournament, but doesn't get any more information than that...

You can get more support about the Plex addon in this thread https://www.thesportsdb.com/forum_topic.php?t=1807&s=75#last

Like Zag I don't use it, but from reading a lot of comments, file structure matters a lot when recognising events.
