S14 - Week 2 - Stats
Week 2 of Super 14 and fewer cards and more tries and some exciting matches despite unseasonable wet. Here we look, as we do each week, at some statistics. We are also starting to accumulate each week’s stats.
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.
Later we shall discuss laws related to incidents in the matches.
