S14 - Week 10, Part 2

Stats

Here we give stats concerning getting possession, mainly at scrums and line-outs.

This weekend we had a massive suspension after citing. Rua Tipoki was cited for a damaging use of his elbow and suspended for 16 weeks. That's four months. In the old dispensation that meant missing two-thirds of the season. Now it's more like one-third.

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. Soundsure provides far more stats than appear hear.

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.
