All Blacks 2013: Rucks per Try - Rugby Championship (Part 2.2)

In Parts 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 -- The Rugby Championship & Bledisloe Cup, we isolate the same 'Rucks Per Try' stat for each of the All Blacks' tries scored against Argentina, Australia and South Africa during the competition.

This video looks at Rounds 3 and 4 against Argentina and South Africa and the 7 tries scored from 12 rucks for an average of only 1.7 rucks per try.

SUMMARY:

- Across all 7 Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup matches, they scored 28 tries over 73 rucks/phases (at an average of 2.6 rucks per try scored);
- 17 tries came from turnovers over 44 rucks (an average of 2.6 rucks per try scored); and
- 11 tries came from set-piece possessions over 29 rucks (also an average of 2.6 rucks per try).

Tune in for Part 2.3 as we look at NZ's Round 5, 6 and Bledisloe Cup matches and assess the execution to round off their campaign.
