Statistics - Super 14, Week 5

We give statistics for the six matches played in Week 5 of the Super 14. There are also some weekly totals which tell you which team has scored the most tries, conceded the most penalties and free kicks and had the most trouble for unacceptable behaviour.

We have already given statistics on the last round of the Six Nations. Later we shall discuss some elements of law from each competition.

Sanctions

The yellow cards this week went to Stephen Hoiles, for using inappropriate language to a referee who seemed lenient on dissent, Tamati Ellison, Hendro Scholtz, Chris Latham, Derick Hougaard and Ross Geldenhuys.
