Key performance indicators in Australian sub-elite rugby union

ConclusionsOutcomes in Queensland Premier Rugby can be predicted using relative and absolute data sets, though the difference between absolute and relative set usage wasn’t as substantial as in professional rugby. Absolute and relative data sets can be used to create match strategies and assess match performance. A game plan based around an out of hand kicking game and accumulating more metres than the opposition, whilst minimising turnovers when in possession were key to success.
