The Super Rugby regular season is behind us, with eight teams set to fight out the postseason from this weekend.But before we look ahead to the four quarterfinals, its worth reviewing 17 rounds of action that saw several standout teams and players emerge, as well as those that did anything but cover themselves in glory.Read on for our statistical review of the season with the numbers provided by Opta Stats.1. The average result margin in Super Rugby this season was 17 points, the widest margin in Super Rugby history since 2002 (17.4), and up 4.4 points from 2015 (12.6); not since 2010 (14.7) had the average margin been higher than 13 points.2. The Kings conceded an average of 45.6 points per game this season, the highest average by any team in a Super Rugby season, overtaking the 2002 Bulls (45.5) and the 2010 Lions (45.0). In contrast, the Lions tally of 35.7 points scored per game was the highest since the 2005 Crusaders record of 41.6, and the seventh highest average overall.3. Just two foreign sides won in New Zealand this season, the joint lowest such tally in a Super Rugby season, level with 2006.4. The Reds and the Jaguares were both carded 10 times during the season, more than any other sides. Two of the Jaguares cards were red however; no other side received more than one sending off.5. The Lions scored more points (535) and tries (71) than any other side this season, despite their matches averaging just 29m 53s of ball-in-play time, the joint lowest in the competition.6. Damian McKenzie, who was one of two players to play every minute of the regular season (also Raymond Rhule) ranked in the top three for carries (193), metres (1190), clean breaks (27) and defenders beaten (62). In addition, McKenzie recorded a try or an assist in 11 of his 15 games this season and finished as the fourth leading points-scorer in the regular campaign (165).7. Aaron Cruden assisted the most tries this season overall (15), and recorded a try and an assist in five of his 15 games. That was more than any other player, with his All Blacks rival Beauden Barrett one behind on four.8. Samu Kerevi beat 62 defenders in the regular season, making up 22.3% of the Reds overall tally, the highest ratio of any player.9. Despite playing just 10 games, David Pocock topped the turnovers-won alongside Ed Quirk with 23.10.

Tanner Lee Jersey .com) - Following a late-game loss to the reigning NBA champs, the Toronto Raptors will look to sustain their recent high-level play as they travel to Indiana to take on the Pacers.Scotland assistant manager Mark McGhee says he would be amazed if Gordon Strachan quit as national coach. The Motherwell manager gave an impassioned defence of their performance as a Scotland management team amid debate over Strachans future following last weeks 3-0 defeat by England.Speaking ahead of Saturdays visit of Partick Thistle, the former Millwall and Wolves boss said: In the week leading up to the game I know his appetite was full. It showed in the performance, that he got his message across and the boys responded and played very, very well. He is entitled to go into the next games and see if we can improve on the results and Id be amazed if he doesnt. Action from Englands 3-0 win over Scotland at Wembley McGhee has deliberately avoided media reaction to the Wembley defeat, which left Scotland fifth in their World Cup qualifying section with four points from four matches, and has not spoken at length to Strachan since the match.But he reiterated he felt the teams attitude and approach was spot-on and described their start to the game as excellent, enough to convince him that they can revive results next year, which starts with the visit of Slovenia on March 26.We have our views and everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course they are, thats the business we are in, McGhee said. Scotland began the campaign with a 5-1 victory in Malta But, as far as I am concerned, I am looking forward to the next games, in particular I cannot wait for the game in June. I want to get the other games, of course I do, and I want to do well but I want to be here when we play England at Hampden. Highlights of Englands clash with Scotland at Wembley in their 2018 World Cup qualifier Whatever else anyone says, we will just keep doing it until someone else takes the keys off us and we cant do it.ddddddddddddScotland took seven points from their first four matches in their Euro 2016 campaign from arguably a tougher run of fixtures, against Germany, Georgia, Poland and the Republic of Ireland. But McGhee bristled at the suggestion that there were no signs of progress. Shaun Maloney scores the only goal of game as Scotland beat Republic of Ireland at Celtic Park In some ways our results and overall performance in the last campaign is better than it is in this campaign, he said.However, you have to be honest, you have to look at the players we have available, look at the opposition. Dont judge it as the same thing, things evolve. Circumstances in each game are different.You cant be blind where you dont take account of any other circumstance other than the result. Thats not fair. Last time we had a great result and performance against Ireland.

But thats what we are working towards. We were close to it at Wembley in some ways and thats what we will take into the next game, that we want that big performance.I feel if we go into that game and it was to be abject then there are clearly questions that need to be asked. But I feel so far that Gordon has done just about as well as we could be expected to do. And McGhees sentiments were echoed by Scotland captain Darren Fletcher who insists the players are keen for the former Celtic and Middlesbrough boss to remain in charge of the national side. Darren Fletcher (R) says players right behind Strachan He said: Friday was one of the most frustrating games I ever played in. We took the game to England at Wembley and were so unlucky.Gordon Strachan takes all the flak and deflects it from the players which is the sign of a great manager.
