Doubt it. Borthwick will want to know; how many carries, how many carries per game (is the average massively distorted by one particular game), what parts of the field, do desperate side on tackles that slide off count as post contact metres etc...

The man loves a stat but I can't see him not interrogating the data.

Yep. I didn’t think he’d pick his side based solely on this one stat.

It's more that these newspaper stats aren't worth much to those who actually like stats. To general, lacking detail.

So you’re saying you don’t actually believe Borthwick announces his team selections to the players with a series of suggestive, erotic emojis? Have I got that right?

You really think Sweaty Ballsacks does it in any way other than interpretive dance?

He's a stats man, there's a series of Power BI dashboards.

JVR has started 11 matches at IC (+4 in a different shirt) - He is, of course, Saffer.
No real 2nd choice.
You've missed James Williams (26, EQP) - 7 starts at 12 this season, plays more as a second play maker, decent defense and has a good kicking game.
Some think Bristol are a more cohesive attacking side with him at 12 as well.
