Championship Report an Exceptional Championship SIX NATIONS GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP REPORT AN EXCEPTIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2 AN EXCEPTIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2019 GUINESS SIX NATIONS | INTRODUCTION 3 EDITORIAL REVOLUTIONISING THE RUGBY VIEWING EXPERIENCE New dynamic statistics that provide better insights were introduced during this year’s Guinness Six Nations Championship, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) analytics. Try origins were introduced during the 2019 Championship, showing how and where each try in the game originated. 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, penalty, scrum, free kick, or turnover. This analysis helps to unearth key turning points in each game and help viewers get a deeper understanding of each team’s attacking strategy. Thirty- three of the 84 tries scored during the 2019 Championship originated from lineouts, with 16 of those tries in the first three phases. Lineouts provided the highest number of tries for England (9) and Ireland (9) as well as the joint-highest total for France (4), Italy (4) and Wales (3) - only Scotland scored more tries originating from a different source (turnovers - 6). Dominant tackles became a key feature of the 2019 Championship, as England were responsible for 146 (30.1%) of the 485 dominant tackles in the 2019 Guinness Six Nations. This included 46 dominant tackles in their opening fixture against Ireland. More data than ever before was available at the breakdown, allowing analysis on the 3,085 rucks during the 2019 Guinness Six Nations. While England lost just six of their 430 rucks, they were around the 2019 Championship average (3.67 seconds) for their average speed (3.66 seconds for England). Ireland were the quickest nation at the breakdown, with an average ruck speed of 3.22 seconds, while France were the slowest, with an average ruck speed of 4.11 seconds. 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. For example, it provided data on England's style of play, as Eddie Jones' side kicked from open play more than any other nation (11.0%), although Wales were the most aggressive when it came out of kicking out of their own 22 (39.8% compared to England's 32.1%). 2019 GUINESS SIX NATIONS | EDITORIAL 5 SUMMARY tarting with the overall team Championship S statistics, before moving into individual performances and data on all teams, this report will look at every aspect of the 2019 Guinness Six Nations - complete with insights. 01 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP STATISTICS Page 6 6 02 03 INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES TEAM PERFORMANCES Page 46 Page 66 2019 GUINESS SIX NATIONS | SUMMARY 7 01 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP STATISTICS RESULTS BY ROUND 10 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE 12 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS 16 POINTS ANALYSIS 18 SCORING BREAKDOWN 22 ATTACK 24 DEFENCE 26 BREAKDOWN 30 SET PIECE 32 KICKING 36 DISCIPLINE 38 MATCH RECORDS 42 POSITION PROFILES 44 8 2019 GUINESS SIX NATIONS | CHAMPIONSHIP STATISTICS 9 RESULTS BY ROUND WEEK 1 WEEK 2 Wales' 24-19 win against France after trailing England recorded their biggest win against 16-0 was the biggest come-from-behind France in the history of the Six Nations. victory in Six Nations history.

It's therefore not a surprise that Wales won the 2019 Championship with the lowest number of points scored for any winner since their the Grand Slam victory in 2012 when they scored just 109 points. They were the only nation to concede fewer than 100 points, as they allowed just 65 points - the lowest total for any nation since Ireland conceded just 56 points in the 2015 Championship. 12 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE POINTS GALORE This is the first time in Six Nations history that five different nations have conceded 100 or more points in their five games in a Championship. Only two sides conceded 100 points or more in 2017 and 2018, while four nations conceded 100 or more points in a single Championship on only five occasions prior to this edition (2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2015). England's +83 points differential is the largest differential by a side who failed to win a Championship since they finished with a differential of +131 in 2002, only to lose out to France (+81). 2019 GUINESS SIX NATIONS | CHAMPIONSHIP STATISTICS 13 Wales' 2019 Guinness Six Nations campaign was one of only five campaigns in the history of the Six Nations where a team did not concede 20 or more points in any of their five games in the Championship - alongside England in 2000 and 2003, Wales in 2008 (when they also won the Grand Slam) and France in 2017. 14 2019 GUINESS SIX NATIONS | CHAMPIONSHIP STATISTICS 15 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS RECORDS WERE SET DURING THE 2019 GUINNESS SIX NATIONS, FROM PLAYER APPEARANCES TO COMEBACKS TO TRY SCORING.

Only two other Championship winners have scored fewer tries than Wales did in 2019 (10) - Wales themselves in 2013 (9) and Ireland in 2015 (8) - as they were the joint-lowest try scorers in this year's Championship, alongside Italy. The Champions accounted for just 11.9% of total tries scored in the 2019 Guinness Six Nations, while England (24) scored the most tries in a single year since they scored 29 tries in 2001 - the record total in the history of the Six Nations. Wales also made 16 penalties, twice as many as any other nation. It was the first time in Six Nations history in which only one side reached double figures for penalties scored - at least three teams made ten penalties or more in every other Championship in Six Nations history.

  • Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union
    Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union HELP, Second Year List of contents 1. Introduction 2. The Four Captains 3. The Views of The Captains 4. Comparing and Contrasting the Captain’s Views 5. Interim Conclusions: Part One 6. Quali - Quantitative Survey 7. Interim Conclusions: Part Two 8. Leadership in Life 9. Overall Conclusions and Learnings 10. What Have I Learned? 11. Appendices 1. Introduction In this project, I am going to either prove or disprove two hypotheses: • firstly, that the position of a rugby player will make a difference to what they think a great captain is; and • secondly, that for a captain to be great, they do not have to be the best in their position. I will prove or disprove these hypotheses through the following research: • conducting semi-quantitative surveys • reading and analysing 4 great rugby captains’ autobiographies (qualitative research) and their views on leadership and captaincy • and finally wider online research. Rugby is a sport and subject that I am very passionate about, and I aspire to play at the highest level. Currently I play for Hampton U13 Bs and my club (Twickenham) first team. I find captaincy interesting as I think it takes great skill and certain characteristics to be a good captain let alone a country-leading world-famous great captain. My personal experiences of rugby captaincy have been periodically with my school team and regularly for my club. My personal view of rugby captaincy based on my experiences is that you need to be the hardest-working player on the pitch at all times – you may not be the most skilled, but you can be the hardest-working, and respect from your team- mates and from your coaches comes from this work ethic.
