S14 - Week 12 - Stats
As the Super 14 gets increasingly tense with just two more Round Robin weeks to go, 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.
This weekend we were back to seven 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.
Sanctionary Cards
There were cards this week – Ma’a Nonu for a dangerous tackle, Nathan Sharpe for illegal activities at a tackle, Ryan Cross for illegal activity at a tackle, Rickie Januarie for wrongful use of his knee, Troy Flavell for activities in a line-out which were not immediately obvious and Schalk Ferreira for illegal activities at a tackle.
What Flavell did at a line-out followed immediately upon an air tackle by Ali Williams. Williams was also penalised for a high tackle on Burger. It seemed strange to an ordinary watcher that Flavell got a yellow card and Williams just a chat.
