About Rugby
About Rugby provides regular analysis, information, education and tips about the game we all love.
As we move through the Super Rugby season,there will be opinion pieces on the shape of the game, video clips of incidents with information about the decision made, and statistics to demonstrate what is happening in the game around scrum, tackle and other areas of interest. We will have interviews with key players, coaches and referees, sharing their views on the game and what is happening within rugby.
We will be measuring the speed of the ball delivery at the tackle, the completion rate at scrum time, how many minutes the ball is in play, how many penalty kicks are awarded and so much more!
Keep in touch with that is happening with our game, and check back with us weekly for reviews of action by the round!
