From 2011 to 2015 each side named one substitute who could be introduced to the game only if permanently replacing another player.
In 2013 a "concussion substitute" was introduced, who could temporarily replace a player being assessed for possible concussion for 20 minutes. Temporary substitutes are not counted in the overall tally below, they are listed at the end of the page.
From 2021 a 'medical sub' was allowed to replace an injured player during a game. If the player was not used they were still credited with a game. In 2023 the rule was altered to allow a tactical substitute at any time during the game.
