We almost always return to our second love: @SuperRugby...

Working at @ClubCRAI...!

✅SixNations2025: @ScotlandTeam and @FedeRugby presented problems in effectiveness in Visits 22 M/ Tries and in conversion Visits 22 M/ Visits 5 M. Both need to improve their performance in the red zone to rebuild their image in @SixNationsRugby🏆

✅SixNations2025: @FranceRugby triumphed over @IrishRugby based on defending, which allowed them to build from ball recovery (8) and unstructured game in the 2H. The 📈 below shows the Composite Attack Index accumulated during @SixNationsRugby🏆

✅SixNations2025: @EnglandRugby outperform any @SixNationsRugby🏆 team in kicking execution. Their kicked possession ratio is 15.9%, executing almost 2 rucks for every kick taken. The 📈below shows that ratio 🏉🚦💥

✅SixNations2025: @EnglandRugby still can't get its attack in the right place for convincing wins in @SixNationsRugby. Its Composite Attack Index puts it well below @FranceRugby who has built a Break every 52,9M AVG 💥🚦

✅SixNations2025: @EnglandRugby & @ScotlandTeam
are the teams that manage the defensive breakdown best in
@SixNationsRugby🏆. The📈 below shows that parity and some distance from the work of
@IrishRugby💥

✅SixNations2025: in Rd.#2 of @SixNationsRugby🏆 @FranceRugby was less effective in scoring tries (3) than @EnglandRugby but far superior in the Visit 22 M/Try Scored ratio. The best Attack Success Ratio over Defense in 6N corresponds to @EnglandRugby followed by @IrishRugby💥🚦

✅SixNations2025: Maintaining attacking momentum has paid dividends for @EnglandRugby, as has the new-look @FedeRugby, who managed 52 and 44 rucks before losing 1 at @SixNationsRugby🏆🚦

Wondelful landscape, Jacek...!

✅SixNations2025: @EnglandRugby demonstrated the importance of controlling the defensive breakdown, turning 10.8% of the breakdowns contested against @FranceRugby into possession losses. The 📈 below shows the cumulative total for @SixNationsRugby🏆💥

✅SixNations2025: @FranceRugby and @ScotlandTeam aligned their Composite Attack Index with their victories. While @IrishRugby outperformed @EnglandRugby, they did so from the 2H onwards, ceding initiative. How would this 📈evolve in Rd.#2 of @SixNationsRugby...?🏉🚦

✅The Visits to 22M and 5M Ratio measures the efficiency in converting territorial pressure into try opportunities. A high ratio indicates the ability to break down defences close to ingoal. @EnglandRugby🏉 was the best exponent in Rd.#1 of @SixNationsRugby🏆📈

✅SixNations2025: @ScotlandTeam maintained consistency despite @FedeRugby's intensity, winning breaks from LQB balls and solid tackle defence. @FedeRugby's emphasis on ruck contesting earned 3 @ScotlandTeam penalties🏉💥

✅6Nations2025: Based on defensive contests, @FranceRugby achieved better performances in attack, generating breaks with fewer LQB balls than @WelshRugbyUnion had 🏉🚦

Important work you did. I've been monitoring Los Pumas' Kicking Possession Ratio for a few years now and the variations have been significant and consistent with the changes implemented in the game patterns. Let's see what 6Nations has in store for us...

✅6Nations2025: The closeness of @SixNationsRugby is a challenge for analysts. In 2025 I will deepen my Attack Indicator (duels won vs defensive speed) and complete the analysis with the “Composite Attack Index” and “Possession Usage”. Rugby never sleeps, definitely… 🏉 📊
