The 2010 Super 14 season began in February and ended on May 29. Each team played a round-robin series against 13 teams, totaling three and half months worth of match play. This year's schedule had a record number and quality of referees. Merit Panel referees refereed at least eighty% of the games.
To measure performance, the studies used several indicators, such as turnovers, points, tackles made or kicks out, to evaluate their performance. These indicators were used to evaluate performance in both defensive and offensive situations. The majority of studies, however, focused only on attack-related variables.
According to some studies, winning teams had fewer tackles. This may be due to the rule changes favouring defensive teams in breakdown situations. Other variables that were considered more important for success were higher average carry meters, lineout success on opposing ball and clean break.
Some studies have shown that point scoring does not correlate with match outcome. However, these were based on results from national or lower level competitions, and did not include data on collective team behaviour or multiple confounding factors. It is hard to determine the relationship between performance and point score and draw any conclusions regarding its importance in rugby.
Another study examined how performance and tackle contests, which measure defence, correlated. The results showed that tackles that were completed were more likely for the winner to win. Although there were some inconclusive studies, these studies identified a positive correlation among points scored and turnovers.
K-modes cluster analysis was used in order to identify common playing patterns such as scrums and lineouts. These patterns emerged from the physical constraints of the game, as well as self-organising interactions between players.
Pretoria's Bulls have been a consistent team throughout this tournament. They have won 14 consecutive matches at home and remain unbeaten in the tournament ever since they took the title in 2012. Their forwards are speedy and capable of burning out wide. Despite their record, the Bulls have not performed to their full potential, and they aren't the kind of team that can save a slump at high altitude.
The Hurricanes are a formidable side, but they still haven't shown their full potential. They will still lose in Christchurch. They will be able to count on Conrad Smith, All Blacks centre, and Piri Weepu, their test halfback back, which is a formidable combination.
The Cheetahs are a solid team on their day, but will have to overcome the loss of star forward Heinrich Brussouw. They're coached by Juan Smith and have not been as big of a name as the Stormers. However, they have performed better in recent times and should beat Sharks.
While the Waratahs may be a solid side on any given day, they're hoping for a win with an extra point. This should guarantee a place at the semi-finals.

How do I begin base jumping?
Base jumping (also known as free-fall parachuting) is a sport where participants jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), such as bridges, towers, buildings, etc., without any equipment attached to them. To land safely, the participant must jump off the object. It is similar in nature to skydiving. You don't need a parachute and you don’t need to hold your breath until it opens.
The most common type of base jumper is called a wingsuit jumper. A wingsuit is composed of two pieces of fabric that are sewn together. The chest, arms and legs are covered by one piece and the legs by the other. Special boots are worn by the jumper that allow him/her stand upright in flight. Jumpers tend to pull their feet up tight during descent. This causes the material that covers the legs to gather and form a large volume of air under the jumper. When the air pocket grows large enough, jumpers can open their parachute to land safely.
Base jumpers can use powered suits in order to accelerate their speed through the air. The two main components to powered suits are a backpack filled with batteries and a undercloth that houses a jetpack. These packs have small rockets that can shoot hot gases at high speeds. This creates thrust which propels the jumper forward. However, these suits can be heavy and loud.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. Make sure you fully understand the risks associated with learning BASE jumping. There are several ways you could die doing this activity: falling off a cliff, hitting an obstacle head-on or upside down, or colliding with another jumper. Although BASE jumping can be dangerous in some cases, it can also prove to be extremely dangerous if done wrong. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. Before jumping from a bigger hill, you should take a few moments to become familiar with the terrain. Pay attention to weather conditions. Avoid jumping when the wind is not blowing in your face. Foggy skies should be avoided. If your vision is less than 10ft in front of you, you may need a break until the clouds clear. You should also ensure you have the correct gear. A helmet, goggles, gloves and a full-suit with a harness are all essential. Fourth, have a plan. Before leaving the ground, ask someone to follow you if something goes wrong. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone to watch over you.
