That's something we used to watch on any given Sunday.

The most devastating tool in the #NFL defensive arsenal, the blind-side pass rush, has been adopted by #Rugby defences.

Playing in two competitions, who can win the #ChampionsCup who got the squad depth

Stade Toulousain #Top14
Leinster #URC

Who else?

Feel AUS is better than 8. Did the nr 8 team in the World ever beaten the Lions in a Test Series?

Jake White not taking prisoners!! Tough one to process for a 21-year old.

Looking at some stats over the 6 x #URC rounds for our 4 x SA franchises -
Ruck speed < 3 secs
Lineout Success Rate
Is Joseph Dweba slowly busy with a comeback, is JD Schickerling making the difference?
Stormers are doing some things right.

You all have seen now on
@TheRugbyPod
the Dan Bigger analysis of the Springboks 4-player pod from the 9 and what the purpose is of the 4th man. This is what Tony Brown said earlier this year on
@behindtheruck_
about "shortening the defensive line"

The Boks play with 22% less risk and Los Pumas with 13% more risk than their opponents. So while Los Pumas attack off the good platforms, the work is undone due to the high risk they play with.

The outcome rating studies what teams achieve each time they attack.

3/6

How nice it is when you have a kicker who can convert from far out.

Boks with a 25% higher PPA from this play and the Wallabies with 65% less. Boks also go for goal a lot more often, hence the higher PPA.

Ah the old lineout in the opponent 22!

Last line is important: % that you are more likely to lose a turnover or penalty than you are scoring. So the All Blacks are 50% more likely to lose HRL than score from lineout in Opp 22!

I hear from Irish rugby X, Sam Prendergast starting again. I like it. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu started in Brisbane for Springboks, the same at Ellispark vs New Zealand. There is only one way to find out. He has so much time on the ball, escaped a red, maybe he is borne lucky.

What makes the Springboks Attack good? If it is good? Maybe it is rubbish? Rugby Stats are dangerous. My rugby brains tells me gainline, gainline & gainline, why Post Contact Metres is for me something I look at.

I did not know who Jerome Daret was until this morning. Congratulations Jerome. You've beaten our man fairly and squarely. I really did not know you had this impact on the 68.17m French population, I really did not know that. We move on.

He must maybe start coaching 7s 😂 I am sure it is nothing personal. Rassie must just work harder, he is just not good enough at the moment. 💪It is all on merit, nothing else.

Thank you
@Springboks

@RassieRugby
for another great year, 11 from 13
We enjoyed everyone of the 450 pts scored over the 13 games with an average win of 17-18 points.
Putting 52 players through the Bok factory.
Beating the English. It was an awesome year.

The Grand Slam dream was just noise the Wallabies did not need.
November 24, 2024 at 4:03 PM
Wallabies will need to up their game. Just not accurate enough. 17-6 two scores behind. Scotland is looking very good. #SCOvAUS

A bit sad for Wales. Nobody wants to see this downward spiral.
