Last weekend, Wales made just 100 metres with ball in hand.
In their historic victory over the world champions, their first over the Springboks on South African soil, they made less metres across 80 minutes than any other Welsh team in the past decade. It could well be longer, but rugby's limited grasp of statistical collation is severely hampered.
Odds are that it's been an awfully long time since Wales made less than 100 metres in a match. To highlight how much of a rarity this is, the website Cardiff RFC Fans - which collates metres per tackle data for countless matches - posted on Twitter that Wales' gain of 1.11m per tackle, with South Africa making 90 tackles, is lower than all but eight of the last 1,330 games in the United Rugby Championship - and the tournament's other guises before that.
