Stat Pack: Stormers v Lions

Stormers

• Guiding his team from the fly-half berth, Manie Libbok scored the most points in Round 10 (15). He is now the league’s top points scorer with 90 but has scored just one try
• Attacking from deep and involving himself in the front-line attack, fullback Clayton Blommetjies has made a squad-high 84 carries
• The DHL Stormers have averaged the fewest carries per 80 minutes in the league so far this season (81.6) but have also averaged the second-most offloads in this interval (10.2)

Lions

• Being targeted at the restart, No 8 Francke Horn has made a league-high total of 21 restart returns (= Phepsi Buthelezi)
• Under pressure this season, Marius Lous has dropped the most unforced balls in the league (12) and has missed the most tackles (22)
• Often throwing over the lineout, both PJ Botha and Jaco Visagie have thrown more lineouts which have travelled further than 15 metres than any other player (eight and seven)
• Gianni Lombard has missed both of his attempted drop goals this season – no player has missed as many
