Average actual playing time

[sigesige00]

Is there any statistics of average actual playing time in the top level games (World Cup, Heineken Cup, Super Rugby etc.)?
I think that the time should be actual playing time.

There has been stats revealed for ball in play which I presume you're referring to. Game clock is basically the playing time would be much slower if clock was constantly stopped e.g. American Football.

Wait why am I replying seriously to a sige thread.

Thank you for the link. The playing time is only 44.3%... If so Rugby should be 20mins half (playing time).

No, because then we would only have 44,3% of that, giving us a little less than 9 minutes playing time.

I think he was getting at 20 minute halves with a stop clock.

I have a question.
Is there any difference between pool games and knock-down games?

And how about the average actual playing time of 7s (World Sevens or 7s World Cup)?
