Stats from Twickenham Test

By Paul Dobson
Monday 1 Dec 2008

England played New Zealand at Twickenham. At half-time the All Blacks led 12-3 and eventually won 32-6. We give some statistics from the match.

Sanctionary Cards

England probably established a record for them with four yellow cards and that at Twickenham. That means that for half of the match England played with 14 men.

One of them was against James Haskell for attacking Rodney So’oialo with a  swinging arm at a tackle/ruck. He should have had one for doing even worse to Bryan Habana the week before.

Recipients

Lee Mears – tackle infringement
James Haskell – dangerous tackle
Toby Flood – dangerous tackle
Tom Rees – tackle infringement

Penalties conceded

In this section we record the times a team was penalised.

Off-side: 1 (McCaw)
