    Travel Stats

    The #Brumbies will travel about 85286km this Super Rugby season!

    I wonder what the Force stats will be... anyone with nothing better to do?

    Don't believe the Brumbies' number as the WF will only travel 47,850 km (pre-Finals).

    Even giving the Brumbies a massive benefit of the doubt by assuming that they fly home between both games in SA (ha!) they're still about 20000 short of that quoted total. Suspect something got taken as a one way distance rather than both ways when they calculated that one...

    I count 53,000km for the Force boys this year.

    That will be down from previously as we get the two NZ games back to back in Auckland and Hamilton.

    Brumbies have probably been cocky enough to included finals flights!

    I have no doubt that the guys doing calculations for us above did the same.

    Yes they did, and it added a grand total of 200 km for the whole finals series

    This was bugging me so I did the numbers and Brumbies only actually travel roughly 42,500 km. Looks like someone doubled the numbers.

    hertryk - Where did you get the figure of 85286km? It's a long way from accurate!

    Have a look at their twitter account - noting they quoted 30,000 to me for one of the legs (to us?), I think they forget how far away Perth is...

    Yeah mate - just checked it out and tweeted. 30,000 to NZ from Canberra and back! What a bunch of fools!

    ...and then they tried to cover their tracks and say that it was 30000 to Perth (but only 20000 to Cape Town!).

    I think they left the intern in charge
