[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 883907, member: 58362"] Unless you know more about the reason that those signings were made than you've mentioned, they don't necessarily represent Sabremetrics. They could just as easily be a case of a coach having an eye for talent and the balls to take a risk. Given the profile that the 2011 New Zealand team gave this, I'm amazed that we haven't heard more about it than we have. Saying that, the nature of the beast is that this only works if you hold an information advantage over others in the market place. Anyone smart enough to put the Sabremetrics principles to use in a rugby context would obviously be bright enough to realise this and be guarded with their trade secrets. [/QUOTE]
