S14 - Week 6 - Stats
There was the historic thriller in Perth this weekend when the lead changed twice in dramatic fashion in the last four minutes. There were also convincing displays by the Highlanders, the Brumbies, the Bulls, the Blues and the Sharks.
We shall discuss some interesting incidents later but here we shall give some statistics around possession.
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.
The Blues have scored the most tries, the Bulls have conceded the most penalties and the Reds have the most disciplinary problems
The Crusaders and the Chiefs rested this weekend after their African safaris.
Sanctionary Cards
There were three cards – for the David Croft (Reds), Justin Melck (Stormers) and Luke Andrews (Hurricanes). It was Croft’s third.
The Bulls must be lucky not to have a yellow card as they conceded ten of their 18 penalties at the tackle alone. But they did not escape altogether as JP Nel was cited and suspended for three weeks for a “swinging arm” offence against Rocky Elsom.
