2019 Women's Six Nations | Introduction 3 WOMEN’S SIX NATIONS EDITORIAL

REVOLUTIONISING THE RUGBY VIEWING EXPERIENCE

New dynamic statistics that provide better insights were introduced during this year’s Women's Six Nations Championship.

Try origins were introduced during the 2019 Championship, showing how and where each try in the game originated, as this statistic looks at the phase of play before a try is scored and provides an insight into how much a counter-attack attributed to the try, or whether it was from lineout, free kick, scrum, free kick, tap penalty, or turnover. This helps to unearth key turning points in each game and help viewers get a deeper understanding of each team’s attacking strategy. For example, 43 of the 114 tries scored during this year's Championship originated from lineouts, with 25 of those tries in the first three phases. Lineouts provided the highest number of tries for England (18), France (12), Ireland (5) and Wales (3) - as Italy scored most of their tries from counter attacks (5) and Scotland scored three of their seven tries from tap penalties.

England's dominance in the 2019 Women's Six Nations wasn't just when they had the ball. England made more dominant tackles than any other nation (80), as England's Sarah Hunter made 17 dominant tackles - more than any other player.

More data than ever before was available at the breakdown, allowing analysis on the 3,161 rucks during the 2019 Women's Six Nations. While Ireland both won the most (701) and lost the fewest (15) rucks, they were the third-quickest nation at the breakdown, as their average speed (3.15) ranked behind France (3.01) and England (3.07).

A team's type of play was also analysed, providing an insight into how a team utilised their possession - breaking this down into certain areas of the pitch and game states. It provided numbers into what each side did with their possessions, such as Scotland kicking during play more than any other nation (5.9%), although England were the most aggressive when it came out of kicking out of their own 22 (17.5% compared to Scotland's 15.0%).
