The 2010 Super 14 season started in February and finished on May 29. Each team played round robin matches against 13 other teams over three and a half months. This year's schedule had a record number and quality of referees. Merit Panel referees refereed at least eighty% of the games.
Performance evaluation studies used various indicators to measure performance. They included turnovers and points scored, tackles made, tackles made, kicks from the hand and tries. These indicators were examined in both offensive and defense situations. The majority of studies, however, focused only on attack-related variables.
A few studies have shown that the winning teams are less likely to miss tackles. This may be related to the rule changes that favoured a defensive team in breakdown situations. Other variables that tended to be more important in determining success were higher average carry metres, lineout success on opposition ball, and clean breaks.
Some studies show that point scoring is not directly related to match outcomes. However, these studies were limited to results from lower level competitions and did not include data about collective team behaviour or other confounding variables. It is difficult to establish a relationship between point scoring and performance, and to draw conclusions about how important it is in rugby.
Another study examined the relationship between performance and tackle contest events, which are measures of defence. This indicated that tackles completed were more likely to be successful for the winner. While some studies didn't find conclusive results in these cases, the studies showed a positive correlation of points scored and turnovers.
K-modes cluster analysis was used for identifying common patterns in play, such as lines and scrums. These patterns were formed by the physical constraints of each game as well as the self-organising interactions that took place between players.
Pretoria's Bulls have been a consistent team throughout this tournament. They have won 14 consecutive matches at home and remain unbeaten in the tournament ever since they took the title in 2012. Their forwards are speedy and capable of burning out wide. Despite their record, however the Bulls haven’t performed to their potential and aren’t the right side to rescue an altitude slump.
The Hurricanes are a formidable side, but they still haven't shown their full potential. They will lose in Christchurch. But they will have All Blacks centre Conrad Smith and test halfback Piri Weepu back, and the combination is a strong one.
While the Cheetahs are a solid side on day, they will have to deal with the loss of Heinrich Brussouw, their star forward. They're coached Juan Smith and are not as well-known than the Stormers. They should beat the Sharks, despite their recent improvements.
While the Waratahs have a solid team on their day, they want to win with a bonus score. This will ensure a spot in the semi finals.
