I don’t want to steal any of RossRugby’s thunder, so here is the link to an interesting analysis of the game at u16 level.
http://rossrugby.co.za/2012/07/a-statistical-analysis-study-on-school-boy-rugby/
He addresses the following questions:
How is possession won?
Where on the field is possession won?
How many attacking opportunities were there in a game?
What was the average number of phases during a game?
How effective were we on attack?
How did attacks end?
From what source do tries originate?
How many phases does it take to score a try?
Where on the field do tries originate?
i found it good reading , certainly a eye opener , and maybe something coaches should read
This is really interesting – thanks for the link
