The quality of props we managed to get hold of last year was fantastic given the short notice. I'm amazed Rizzo didn't get another club in a top league somewhere.

Interesting stuff, particularly the domination of the back 5 charts by Irish teams, reflection of playing style or just % of possession they get and opportunity?
Not really possible but it would be good to measure an "effecting the game" stat i.e how often they carried, tackled, contributed to a ruck, maul etc to get a fuller picture of workrate. Its measuring the "unseen", the likes of Rob Harley will put in a lot of work in terms of winning ball, clearing out and slowing down which you cant really put a measure on. I wonder how coaches judge that sort of thing, in a world of sports science, other than old fashioned watching and gut feel?
Would be interesting to see stats for Bradbury on Friday, wasn't on long but seemed to be everywhere when he was. Big in defence and carrying.

Do Glasgow have metrics for "No of rucks inspected/80mins" or "crazy offloads under pressure in your own 22/80mins" or do they not need them now that Kellock has retired and Finn has gone all cosmopolitan?

The top 3 wingers are from Scottish teams. Have a crack at guessing which players before you look...

I would suggest that an attacking stat from last year that doesn’t feature Blair Kinghorn anywhere in the rankings is a pretty dodgy stat.
