Playing with Pool Statistics
For each match we have given some statistics and ended listing things like sanctionary cards, penalties, tries, stoppages, and so on.
Now we give a list of totals for getting possession at line-outs and scrums.
Line-outs
We list the number of times a team threw in, the number of line-outs they lost (either pinched or skew) and the number of opponents’ throws they won.
Japan may just be the line-out surprise.
