From Edinburgh’s historical win away at Munster on Friday to Zebre becoming the highest points scorers of the round – away from home no less! – plenty of eye-catching stats jumped out of Round 7. Who needs to watch the game-tape of all seven matches when we can formulate our opinions purely based on numbers? Here’s the tale the statistics tell… On the road again Think predicting the Guinness PRO14 is easy? Think again. Many had Munster, Benetton, Dragons and Glasgow down to win at home – they did not. Five away wins across the round in total, the last time that happened was in 2017, as pointed out on Twitter by statistician Stu Farmer. That's five away wins this weekend in @PRO14Official. That's happened just five times before in a round - twice in 2002/03 (when there were eight games in a round) and once in 2004, 2012 and 2017 (when there were six games in a round).— Stuart Farmer (@Stu_Farmer) 30 November 2019
