Pretty sure they mean Scott Selwood, not Adam.

Interesting to see how much of an impact Foley can have on the side and our clearances when up and running.

Any cross reference into games played ?

Surely this type of analysis should also be referenced to effective ruck taps.

Statistics and damned statistics produces short analysis and damned outcomes.
