**Last weekend was packed with rugby from Guinness PRO14, Guinness Six Nations and Women’s Six Nations, and as per usual a number of eyebrow-raising stats came to light.** We picked out a few that caught our attention but we actually start with some numbers emanating from the weekend’s rugby approaching, in Round 13 of the Championship. # **Cardiff give Blues to Edinburgh** Amazingly, on the last three occasions Cardiff Blues have travelled to Edinburgh, they’ve won every time. The Blues were victorious in Edinburgh in 2019, 2017, and 2016 – and even more strangely, Edinburgh scored exactly 17 points in each of those three games – will they break from tradition on Friday? If not, the Blues would appear to have an exceptionally good chance and, in fact, the Blues have lost only two of their last nine fixtures against Edinburgh in all competitions, both curiously at home at Cardiff Arms Park, in September 2017 and October 2019. Even more recent history is not on the side of the Blues though – the Scotsmen are unbeaten in their last nine fixtures at BT Murrayfield in all competitions since Ulster triumphed there in Round 20 of the Guinness PRO14 last season. # **Hastings hustle** Staying with Scotland but moving across to Glasgow Warriors, and their fly-half Adam Hastings certainly caught the eye at the weekend. The 23-year-old had a bit of a mixed bag of an afternoon in the 17-0 win over Italy in Rome, shanking an early penalty and missing a touch-finder, but also coasting in for a late try and controlling the game well over the 80.
