Eat your heart out, all you STATS CRAZY freaks, here’s some of the End Of Year Tours stats:
We give some statistical totals for the three-week period when the International Board. Test window was open. There may be some easy ones – most tries scored and fewest tries, most penalties conceded and fewest penalties, most penalties scored and most penalty attempts missed, line-out throws and failures. And you can see who the most penalised player is.

Penalised individuals
It must a be sign of the competition emphasis that the most penalised players this month are not flanks but props.
The most penalised player is Campese Ma’afu, the Fijian prop who plays for the Brumbies while his brother plays for Australia. He conceded 11 penlites.
Of the eight most penalised players, seven are props – Rodrigo Roncero (Argentina) who was penalised 9 times, Ben Alexander, Ben Robinson and Cian Healy who are each on 8. James Slipper was penalised 6 times but just one worse was Richie McCaw, penalised 7 times.

Seems SA was well diciplined overall, best lineout stats, very few penalties conceded at scrumtime.
The 5 Bokke kicks missed were Lambie (2), Fransie Steyn (1), Morné Steyn (2)
Kicks IN PLAY stat is interesting with Bokke, Wallabies & All Blacks almost exactly the same…. in the mid 60’s.
Springbok TRIES SCORED stat is worrysome!
Useless information…

Yes there is nothing happening. Dick Muir killed our backline. Lucky the best wont be under his coaching for another 6 months they may find their knack again.
@ grootblousmile:
If you count in the other test we have 7 tries in 4 games
Willem Alberts 3
Victor Matfield 1
Juan Smith 1
Backs
Gio Aplon 1
Luwasi Mvovo 1
Brilliant statistics, sh1t play.
@ superBul:
Thats less than the Lions could score in the Super 14. a lower average than even the Bulls, not renowned for using their backline.
1.75 tries PER GAME! and THREE of them came from a replacement flanker!
What the kedouche!
6@ Greenpoint-Gunner:
Come on Tail-Gunner, surely you can leave the Bulls out of ONE single post and NOT get a niggle in against the Bulls….
By the way go look at Super 14 tries this season before you make an uninformed comment.
The Springbok tries stat is bad compared to what was achieved by any Rugby Franchise in SA, therefor the blame must go to 2 things… coaching and injuries.
Very interesting, i see even with our very few tries, the SHARKSSSSSSSSSS were the try scoreing machine
