Hurricanes v Chiefs
-
I hate that these 2 are being compared because Jordie is a 12 or 13 not a fullback. A bit like comparing Ben Smith and Konrad Smith as 13s.
Hopefully these 2 will play many test together, not compete for a position because it's convenient for the Canes to have Jordie at 15. Then again their bloody 12 is an Allblack now!

The way I look at it, the stats make sense in how the relative teams play. For instance the number of carries and metres, Beauden drops back to take a lot of ball and then runs and beats defenders. DMac is the main weapon used by the Chiefs. Hence the higher numbers in those categories, but also a factor in why the higher number of handling errors for DMac. More ball in his hands.

@ACT-Crusader similarly people using stats of Cane, Todd & Ardie to say one is better...they play different roles in their teams.

@Rapido canes on 53, Chiefs on 49, if Chiefs win with no BP they will be even, but on same wins, so assume the canes superior points diff would keep them ahead?
