Where does your team rank?
We’re currently four round into the inaugural Guinness PRO14 with round five set to commence this afternoon as Ospreys take on the Cheetahs. A number of teams are already starting to show some form and this is reflected in the team rankings.
Munster have an impressive 97% success rate in the scrum, especially when you consider their first choice front-row has been held back until this weekend. Scarlets lead the way with a 95% lineout success rate. Good news once again for Munster fans when you consider Tadhg Beirne has played a huge part in that and is set to join the southern province next season according to reports.
Ulster are another team that have been flying high this season, with a perfect record so far. A lot of that can be attributed to their ability to make clean breaks (57) which has resulted in an incredible 2272 metres gained.
