S14 - Week 3 - Stats

After Week 3 with its low points differences, low scores and two matches devoid of tries, we look at the statistics of the weekend and some totals to tell us who has scored the most tries, who is most penalised and so on.

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.

After three rounds,
the Stormers have conceded the most penalties, the Lions fewest.
The Cheetahs have scored the most tries, the Highlanders. the Lions and the Stormers fewest.
The Reds have received most sanctionary cards
