S14 - Week 13 - Stats

Intensity rising - that's what's happening to the Super 14 as we close the penultimate week of the round robin part of the tournament with semi-finals not yet decided. That will happen only after the last match on the last weekend - next weekend. We give some stats which deal mainly with possession.

We shall discuss some incidents later.

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.

Sanctionary Cards

Cards we ere dealt out again this weekend - Tana Umaga, which proves that not even the greats are exempt, Richie McCaw, ditto, Duane Vermeulen, Wylie Human, Jacques Cronje and David Te Moana.

Was McCaw unfortunate? It's not that easy to see on the television slow motion but the touch judge was certain - "definitely a deliberate knock-down".
