Statistics - Super 14, Week 7
We give statistics which are really about possession, mostly getting it. We shall discuss several issues regarding the laws in action. There are totals which tell which team has scored the most tries, which has conceded the most penalties and the most free kicks, and whose discipline is worst.
Sanctions
The Bulls got through a match without conceding a single yellow card – and they gave their best performance of the Super 14 so far.
Yellow cards this weekend went to Schalk Burger – and we shall discuss Schalk Burger as an issue later – and Jamie McIntosh.
