[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 883938, member: 58362"] The popular media has picked up on the "jeans" quote, but again, it doesn't necessarily mean that we're referring to Sabremetrics here, just that it has thinking outside the accepted norms in common with Sabremetrics. There are a few on these forums who seem to have a bit of insider info, I wasn't sure if you were one of them, hence my comment. As you say, the rest of us can only speculate. My suspicion re: Chris Cloete is that good scouting combined with the fact that in the grand scheme of Munster's budget it represented a 50p each way punt on a 100/1 shot for the National - you look great if it comes off, if it doesn't nobody cares too much. Also, my view would be that performance analysts are focused almost exclusively on the existing team, not potential signings. My replies to a couple of other posts will expand on this when I have a chance to make them! [/QUOTE]
