| Match Statistics |
| Monday, 19-Aug-86 - |
The statistics below are based 15 matches in 2009. Each of the matches was a Senior Men's match from Marshall 1, Jones 1, or Keenan 1 Leagues or featured Rep teams. The referees were all Ontario Panel or Promising List appointed by the ORRS.
Numbers can never tell the whole story but they can indicate trends. It is pleasing to note that the number of stoppages, penalties and unplayables are all below the Rugby Canada Benchmark values.
Those who have received performance reviews this year can find the totals for their match at the end of the report. It is a useful exercise to compare 'your' numbers with the averages and ask yourself why there is a difference. There are many factors - weather, ground conditions, team game plans, etc., etc. .... and some can be influenced by the referee.
