Duhan : 1 tackle made, 1 tackle missed. Ouch.

Daly's 0-1-1 line is more ouchy

Didn’t Daly make a couple of breaks with the ball? 1 metre doesn’t seem right

I was just thinking that - i distinctly remember him running a good 8 meters with someone hanging onto his shirt

It will be metres made past the gainline.

I guess that's why fullbacks don't have 500 meters a game lol

On kick returns there is no gainline, so all metres carried forward are counted as 'metres made'.

Ha yeah this would be an utterly meaningless stat if it included metres made pre-gainline.
