Cape Town 2016 Stats

Another trip back to the beginning of the series since I never posted Cape Town’s stats. England, comes out third best despite winning the tournament. This is mostly due to their 33-7 thrashing from New Zealand.

South Africa scored on a jaw-dropping 60% of their possessions. Also notable was Russia’s anemic offense where they allowed an 85% defensive contact success rate.
