S14 - Week 14 - Stats

Whew! That’s it. The 14 weeks are over and we end with the totals down below – most and fewest tries, most and fewest penalties, most and fewest stoppages, most disciplinary sanctions, apart from the possession stats for this 14th week.

At the end we give standings by tries scored, penalties conceded and disciplinary sanctions. The Crusaders and the Waratahs get good awards.

We have a record for the fewest stoppages, by the way. It was in the Bulls-Reds match. It was interesting as the Bulls focussed their attention on scoring tries and conceded by far the fewest penalties they have conceded in this competition.

We have already discussed the quick throw-in that went awry. We shall discuss incidents from the matches and we shall discuss the scrum procedure comparing the quick and the slow.

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.
