Crunching the rugby numbers, a fun fact filled new book

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm today

The first big All Blacks match of the season is on tomorrow night with old foes England here for two tests.

It's also the first game for the All Blacks under new coach Scott Robertson - who's got some impressive statistics behind him as the Crusaders head coach.

It's those kind of rugby statistics that's prompted self confessed data fanatic Chris Carter to write a book looking at the numbers which revolutionise the game itself. His book is called Rugbynomics
