Stats

A crack team of boffins managed to extract the information after minutes of adding up.
The stats just go to show that statistics can prove anything, such as how good the rest of the team must be so that Bob can score all his tries.
(There was not enough space for a column headed 'how many times a player is subbed due to having 'a bad back'.)


A Christmas message from El Presidente
Statistics, eh? .... there are numbers, then there are statistics, and finally there are damn lies!
Our computer boffins have pored over all the results, and come up with one simple conclusion:- if you follow the classic rugby formula of:-
WEIGHT over HEIGHT times SPEED divided by EGO over FORWARD or BACK ..... then factor in BALL-GREEDY plus NON-USE OF RUBBER GLOVES times LURKING OFFSIDE ..... you'll score a lot of tries! See, everything CAN be explained, Bob!
But seriously, our boffins have concluded that LOTS OF TRIES = GOOD TEAMPLAY ....all these tries belong to us ALL!!
"sniff, sniff ... Um vewwy vewwy pwoud of all ma boys!"

There wasn't enough space for a column headed 'Dummied by prop', but we all know who would have a mark against them (for those of you who don't know its Bob McBain).
