The stats that matter. The super rugby story 2015-current

[Rebels3]

Being a man in research and data I thought I'd amuse myself this afternoon with some stats from 2015-current. Read into them all as you'd like. Results include finals unless otherwise advised.

Some interesting notes

- hurricanes, chiefs, crusaders and highlanders have each at some stage earned more points in one season than 6 teams had in 2 and a half (cheetahs, reds and force) or 1 and a half seasons (sunwolves, kings and jaguares) respectively.

- surprisingly the tahs have collected the most competition points and have the best win % out of the aus teams.

- biggest worry is 3 aus teams (reds, force, rebels) in the bottom 4 of try's per game.

- crusaders this year (just over half a season) already have more or equal competition points than 3 teams had collected over numerous seasons

- brumbies are the only team with a top 3 result. 3rd best in ppg conceded

The stat that purportedly really matters:

"We have put in $28 million that we did not plan to put in over the last four years to keep these teams afloat."

It's all the ARU's fault!!!! They should have spent that money on the grass roots.


Or Western Sydney SS Clubs. Or......something.
