South Africa’s Heros And Villains In United Rugby Championship

 

We look at the South African URC players that are placed in the top 5 performers in the categories as compiled by the URC.

Statistics can be useful, however, it often leads to misunderstandings when used on its own to evaluate players and/or teams. Game plans and the team a player plays in could influence "one's" statistical performance.

Position in categories is shown in brackets.
