Crusaders absent from Super Rugby Team of the Season
SANZAAR has named their official Super Rugby Team of the Season for 2017 based on a range of player stats. No one from the champion Crusaders outfit has made the cut, and although the TOTS are a pretty strong side on paper, you wouldn’t pick them to beat the men from Canterbury in a final.
Whatever algorithms they are applying to the numbers may be unreliable, or perhaps they’re not even looking at the right kinds of numbers? Nevertheless, I would have picked Seta Tamanivalu in the 14 jumper any day of the week.
