[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 707515, member: 40658"] No offense, but you can't use the 2010 stats for the current season. Especially when the focus is on the SH teams. from 2007 - 2011, the SH teams used the kicking, and especially the kick-chase gameplay. That also lead to the Bulls first Super Rugby ***le in 2007, and the Boks implemented that too. It even resulted in a tri-nations victory and a series win over the British and Irish Lions. from 2012 to now, the Kick-chase has been used far less, especially due to the changes in laws, and the manner in which the referees blow when 2 players go for the ball in the air. Some teams still use this tactic, but it's been far less effective than it was in the past. Tactical kicking is still however used frequently, and I honestly love this area of the game. putting pressure back on the opposition, by pinning them back in their own 22, going for the lineout and driving mauls. For this statistic to be a true reflection, it has to be revised at a tournament-for-tournament period. [/QUOTE]
