S14 - Week 10 - Stats

We again give some statistics of getting and using possession. They include running totals which tell which team has scored most tries, which fewest and which team has been most penalised, which team least often.

We shall discuss some incidents later. We shall also do our compliance assessment, talking about our statistics for scrums above all.

“Stoppages” is the total of penalties, free kicks, line-outs, scrums and their infernal resets, and drop-outs.

Soundsure have again helped with their great set of statistics.

Sanctionary Cards

There were at this Eastertide, no sanctionary cards. Alleluia.

But alleluia was tempered by the citing and suspension of Cheetahs fullback Bevin Fortuin for playing Steve Devine dangerously when he did not have the ball.
