S14 - Week 9, Part 2
Stats
Here we give stats concerning getting possession, mainly at scrums and line-outs.
Hats off to the Waratahs! And hats off to the Highlanders! The Waratahs conceded just one penalty when they played the Crusaders and that was a silly one. The Highlanders conceded just two against the Force.
It would seem quite possible for teams to reduce the number of penalties conceded.
In this section we have had help from Soundsure with its excellent statistics geared to reportage on the refereeing of the matches has made our statistics easier to gather and more comprehensive.
The total of penalties, free kicks, line-outs, scrums, including resets, and drop-outs makes up stoppages.
Next we shall discuss laws related to incidents in the matches.
