S14 - Week 11 - 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.

The totals are more meaningful now as all teams have now had their byes, which means that all have played the same number of matches.

We shall discuss some incidents later.

Soundsure have been a huge help with much of the statistics, as they always are.

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