South African Refs NOT Biased

23 February 2020 By admin

South African Refs NOT Biased:

Well first of all the study that shows that South African refs penalise South African teams less is only half correct because the South African teams actually have a similar penalty win ratio away from home as well

I thought I would also do the Penalty count win loss ratio for the away games to get a true reflection on the weather it is indeed bias or if it is actually just a country getting less penalties than the other and the stats show a different story to the article that is going around.

South African Teams actually have a better penalty count win away from home with a non South African Ref as they do at home.

For the Stats I have only used games between SA, OZ and NZ only from the start of 2017 until the end of 2019

I used https://super.rugby/superrugby/ for all the stats and I have included a link to the tables for you to see

I also included all games at home but I used all refs as I thought with Australia only having 2 ref compared to 5 of NZ and SA it wasn’t a true reflection.

I thought I might throw in the yellow card totals for a look as well and as suspected NZ give away more penalties to yellow cards than OZ and SA.
