2011 Super Rugby Stat Attack!

[TOCC]

Ive only done the Reds, Waratahs and Rebels at the moment, the Brumbies and Force websites were playing silly buggers... this is what ive come up with so far..

NSW have 9 players in there squad with over 25 test caps, the Rebels have 3 and the Reds have zero. NSW has 15 internationally caped players within there squad, the Reds have 14 and Melbourne contain 13.

In terms of Forwards, 100kg seems to be the minmum weight with the 2 exception's been Liam Gill(94kg) and Adam Freir(98kg)bringing their respective sides average down. In the 110kg and over category QLD has 13 players, NSW have 13 and the Rebels have 10.

197cm seems to be the cutoff between a lock and a flanker, Melbourne Rebels have 6 players in there forward pack 197cm and taller, the Reds have 5 players and the surprisingly the Waratahs have only 3 players 197cm and taller.

QLD have 6 players born in 1990 or later, NSW has 2 and Melbourne has 3.. Melbourne has 6 players born in the 70's, NSW and QLD both come in at 3 players apiece.

Attached the relevant spreadsheet, if anyone wants to compile the ACT and WA stats then feel free and i will correlate them to the existing stats.

should build this up with opinion and post it on the blog.

Nice, TOCC.
Interesting to see that, apart from Test and Super experience, there is barely a struck match between teams on average.
From that, NSW have no excuse, having much more experience than the others.
In case you wondered, my edit was just to switch 2 numbers around which seemed back to front.

The facts make Spiro's latest "story" about the Tahs needing to be fast-not-bulked-up to be a piece of total fiction. Or maybe he thinks all the aussie teams have over-bulked.

Great piece of work, TOCC

thats what i was thinking, im not really interested in writing a article so someone else can if they want, the stats are a gift to the forum

Cheers for the write up TOCC.

I included the Force figures, their list is perculiar though, they have 37 players if you include the 8 rookies, seems strange considering the professional squad limit is 32 players.. I cant imagine the Force would be leaving places vacant considering last yeras injury toll.

I also noticed a mistake in the marco forumula for caluclating super/test cap averages, it was including the sum figure in the test cap average which was inflating the figure..

Im slowly getting rid of the minor discrepancies in the list, Im thinking about maybe breaking it down by position as well, but that can at times be debateable when it comes to players like Horwill, JOC (James O'Connor), Mumm, Turner, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) etc.
