Lies, damned lies and...

Post by Jacko27 »

Look at the "Match Stats" attached to the official Tigers/Bath match report on the Tigers website. I'm always a little sceptical about some of these so called statistics but this lot are particularly mind boggling. After the possession and territory percentages, they claim that Tigers " won 100%" of their line outs. Not in the game I was watching, they didn't! For a start the match ended after one more bungled line out.

I think ur creating a mountain over a molehill I have read nothing about 100% lineout just that Vieanu topped meters, Kalamafoni 2nd with carries and Ford with most defenders beaten

I think that's just an error on the page - it's also showing Bath as 100% but their bar is all green, which would indicate Tigers won all theirs too.

No one would claim that Tigers won 100% of their lineouts on Saturday.

Our lineout was 77%, pathetic at this level!

Was it that much, I thought it was nearer 50%.
