Really nasty business.

An English rugby fan was viciously attacked by a gang of men just hours after a big international clash between the two countries, police have said.

Dyfed-Powys Police are appealing for information regarding what they describe as a “racially aggravated assault” in Llanelli , around three hours after Wales had defeated England on February 23.

Sorry if I’m being dense, but it’s racially aggravated and nobody knows what was said during the incident? It’s horrible either way, but it seems odd to state that and then give no details, no?

I don’t know how exactly, but I thought it might potentially help with identifying people?

Another stat:

Wales had the most dominant collisions in defence by percentage in the 6N’s.

Wales has the least dominant collisions in attack by percentage in the 6N’s.

What is a dominant collision? And a dominant tackle?

Dominant collision in defence = stopping dead or knocking back

Dominant collision in attack = the opposite.

Is it all relative to the gain line or tackle line?

So it's of interest to those involved but not so much to the team systems
