The Vodacom United Rugby Championship has ended with the leagues and as for the statistics it has clearly drawn that the South African sides have made a difference. It will therefore not come as a surprise to know that local talents decreed the championship’s stats with two teams, finishing in the top eight.
Bulls have especially done well all season long and they have recorded eighty-five tries, setting a record, which was set by Leinster the previous season with eighty-four tries. This is much better than that of the Bulls who was able to score 78 tries in the same season that Leinster achieved the record. Thirdly, the Bulls have also set a record of scoring 639 points within the tournament, which has also beaten their record for this years scoring 613 points that they secured during the first season in the URC.
These figures show that there is talent and raw power of South African rugby players who have played the championship to the best of their abilities. They have also recorded impressive performances hence boosting their teams’ performances to an extent that two out of them notable teams reached the top eight.
Another evidence proving the improvement of rugby in South Africa is entrenched in the result of the URC statistics where many South African players come out as winners. These young stars have not only performed well and helped their teams but have also set some high standards that would be hard to match in the following seasons.
The Vodacom United Rugby Championship has been an opportunity for South African players to display their talents and inference to the statistics, it has proven that South African players have been working extra hard to produce such impressive feats. With performances like these, fans are likely to see more brilliant displays from these thrilled contestants as the championship progresses.
