[QUOTE="Chistera, post: 707621, member: 72020"] You're right, 2010 stats definitely are outdated, I've only cited the article though, not of my writing. I don't know that much about Super Rugby and certainly not a lot about its tactical evolutions but you must be rights about that too. If some rules adjustments managed to switch back the game to a more ball-in-hand approach then I'd definitely like to see these implemented in Europe too (don't know if they have been). But kick-chase seems out of favour in the NH too, even England doesn't use it much anymore. Tactical kicking can sure be exciting, when both teams' back three repeatedly kick the ball to one another to gain territorial advantage, in a real mano a mano involving both skills and awareness. @Peat That seems right, I've looked it up though ([url]http://irbplayerwelfare.com/pdfs/gameanalysis/6_Nations_Analysis_2013.pdf[/url]) and all teams kicked approximately the same number of times in the 2013 6 Nations, no real statistical conclusions to draw then: France 27 kicks/game, Scotland 27, England 26, Ireland 26, Wales 26, Italy 25.
