Austin’s Stats and Analysis: Wallabies v All Blacks

October 19th, 2011 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article.
The Wallabies were comprehensively outplayed by the All Blacks last weekend, so is there any joy in any of the statistics for Wallaby fans? Not really.
The Wallabies won fourteen of their fifteen lineouts lost for a 93% success rate. In defence the All Blacks also lost one lineout from […]

Analysis: Wallabies Kicking Game

I’m sure that like most of you I sat watching Sunday’s victory by the Wallabies against the Springboks in amazement that any team could win such a game with such little possession and field position. Okay, that’s not entirely correct – I was pacing the floor and jumping around […]

What can statistics tell us about the Wallabies performance against Ireland on Saturday? You wouldn’t think much, would you? We all know what was wrong, don’t we?
Let’s make a quick list of the problems for the Wallabies in this game:
Ireland;
Poor lineout throwing;
Poor scrums;
Softness in the forwards;
Poor decision making;
Lack of […]

Austin’s RWC1 Stats and Analysis – Wallabies v Italy

September 15th, 2011 · No Comments

Gagger wrote this article.
The Wallabies game against Italy last Sunday was a really solid start to the World Cup campaign.
There was always the prospect that the Wallabies could start the tournament a little slowly with a drop in intensity after the Tri-Nations final and a week off. The heavy rain at the start […]

The final Tri Nations game of 2011 between the Wallabies and All Blacks on Saturday was one of the most enjoyable games I’ve seen for a while.
Other recent games that spring to mind are the final Bledisloe Cup game in Hong Kong last year and the two games between the […]

Benjamin Disraeli said “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics”. What about rugby statistics?

August 21st, 2011 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article.
Over the last three Tri-Nations games I’ve looked at the breakdown to analyse the level of infringements occurring and what referees are missing or allowing to occur without penalising.
To look for trends I’ve now analysed two games each for the All Blacks, Springboks and the Wallabies. Whilst that’s by […]

Austin’s TN3 Match Review and Statistics

August 8th, 2011 · No Comments

Lee Coan wrote this article.
The All Blacks were outstanding against the Wallabies on the weekend. It was a dominant display and on the night there was a significant gulf between the two teams.
In my opinion I’d rate the All Blacks performance at around 90% with the only areas I think they would have been unhappy with […]
