Joe from Planet R wrote
how do I see all of the 3 nations results rather than a yearly summary from clicking on the trophy?
Hi Joe - You must enter something in one of the 4 blue boxes on the grey selection panel which is common to all of those teams; in this case Southern Hemisphere "SH" will do it (like this).
For summarised match results, there must always be something in one or more of those blue boxes. Hope this helps.

GREAT SITE !!! I was searching for it since a long time.
just a question: what does mean "AI", "ST", "TO" and "H," "N", "A" in column "adv" ?
And "pnts" ? ... in fact, is there any guide to the p&g terms ?
Anyway keep the good job done !
Bonjour Nic. AI is "Autumn International", ST is "Tour to Southern Hemisphere", TO is "Tour". The adv col signifies where the match is played - "Home", "Away", or "Neutral". "Pnts" are explained on the FAQ's page.

Excellent and very useful site. Pity about the player stats as that would certainly enhance the uselfulness of this site. But it is not easy to get the stats so I understand why you don't have them. Still, some financial backing, maybe . . .
I run this site as a hobby in my spare time and maintaining player stats would put too greater demand on that at present.

Hi Mike. Yes, Pick & Go contains match results for every Super12/14 match played. The quickest way to get results for a period is to select the table for that year e.g. 2004, then by clicking on a column link you can zoom to the stats screen (All matches)

...BUT if you look at the Poms' progress in the two years either side of their cup win, the stats look far more respectable - 76% wins (including a world record 4 year winning streak at Twickers) plus a 62% win rate over the other tier 1 sides.

I wonder if you have come accross any other data for Super 12/14 games, like Territory and Posession statistics, missed tackles, etc. I ask this, because I really wonder where you found the tries data for Super 12 matches as early as 1996?
As you've probably noticed, the early years of Super 12 were not well organised, including the recording of results. Luckily I managed to get access to old copies of "Rugby News" at The NZ Rugby Museum here in Palmerston North. These covered NZ home games quite well but I still found conflicting reports/totals for overseas fixtures and in some cases had to deduce them from the end-of-season counts. As far as territory/possession stats go, best of luck Christoff!

I don't pretend to have as much data as rugbydata.com and have no current plans to expand.

Pete Gosford from Christchurch wrote
I like your super 14 rankings but I'm surprised that the Crusdaers aren't further ahead over all given that they have won half of the competitions since super rugby started?
Hi Pete. Two reasons I think -
1) A teams current position is influenced predominantly by the previous 4 or 5 games and given their poor finish at the end of last year, the Crusaders had a bit of ground to make up
2) The 10 point margin constraint means that all teams are really destined to stay between 70 and 90 points. Once a team gets near 90, the relative points gained from a win will diminish (and is often zero) and a loss, especially at home, causes them to fall back amongst the rest of the pack very quickly. Of course this is not as apparent in the official IRB rankings because each team isn't playing every other team in a fixed competition format.

Ken.

For the uninitiated, the Raeburn Shield is a mythical trophy harking right back to the first recognised rugby union test match played back in 1871 between Scotland and England at Raeburn Place, Scotland (hence the name). The virtual trophy has then passed to the winner (or holder in the event of a draw) down through the ages to the present day. NZ has won the trophy the most times and as at January 2009, currently hold it. For more details see this website or join the facebook group (which might even make the trophy real one day).
You can display the Raeburn Shield results via hidden commands on the pick&go home site URL e.g.

Every result:http://www.lassen.co.nz/pickandgo.php?custom=RS

To see other combinations, just amend the command line. Any questions, please ask.

Great site but I could not change the results even with all my imaginary scores. The Blues have the blues this year "again". Great to see my other team the Chiefs going so well, it might be their year. Here's hoping.
Yes, the Blues have been decidedly average this year - some of the decision making has been very poor; kicks from hand etc. Actually, it's a pet grievance of mine at the moment - Why do attacking sides opt to kick the ball away so often? Surely they must realise that the chances of a lucky bounce or the opposition dropping it are at best slim? Nine times out of ten all it does is turn good possession over!

It is frustrating when I try to find the Super14 standings table after a couple of games have just been played, especially now in the final round. Apparently all of the national news websites are too useless to keep their tables updated. Good work.

Why was the Dave Gallaher trophy played for twice this year? Your site says it should only be up for grabs in the first test of each year.
Warren
TBH, I don't know how the rules work for some of these trophies. The IRB or the RFUs concerned seem to change them at will, presumably to generate more interest. Because it was a two match series this year, someone decided both games would count and France ended up winning the trophy on points difference (5 points in Dunedin vs 4 points in Wellington). As it turned out, I think it was the right result as France won the first game more convincingly than the ABs won the second.

Hi. Last weekend all 5 of the New Zealand teams won their matches, 4 of them scoring 4-try bonus points in the process. Is this a record in Super rugby for any country?
Great site by the way, top of my favorites list! Cheers.
Interesting question Graham. There is only a small window each season when all teams from a country are playing and not against each other so yes, I think 24 comp points is a record. In 2006, the Kiwi teams won all 5 (also in Round 3), but not with as many bonus points. South African teams won 4/5 in a couple of rounds in 2007 but so far have never managed a clean sweep.
