    Fox Sports Stats show New South Wales have nothing to fear on the road

    http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,...002381,00.html

    "The Tahs have suffered just 11 defeats away from home in 26 matches since 2006, the second-best away record in the competition. "

    blah blah snip*


    "The Brumbies face a similarly tough start to the season, with their first three games away from home - including a two-match tour of South Africa.

    But the Brumbies’ record on the road is not as impressive as that of their arch-rivals.

    The Canberra-based franchise have won only 11 of their past 26 games away from Canberra Stadium, and they beat only lowly Queensland, the Cheetahs and the Highlanders on the road last season.

    Western Force’s away record is not very inspiring either, with just nine wins from 26 attempts since they entered the competition. They have also drawn four away matches.

    With five of their final six matches this season to be played on foreign soil, a fast start to the season is a must for John Mitchell’s men.

    And what about the Reds?

    The competition’s whipping boys, who have won the least games out of any side in the past four seasons, have a dismal record away from Brisbane.

    They have recorded just two victories on the road in the past four years - over the Blues in 2009 and the Lions in 2006.

    It is a record new coach Ewen McKenzie will need to reverse if his dream of finals action is to come to fruition."

    now thats just deceptive journalism..
    lets re-word that

    "the Tahs have been defeated 11 times from 26 games"
    "the brumbies have been defeated 14 times from 26 games"
    "The force have been defeated 13 times from 26 games"
    "the reds have been defeated 23times in 26 games"



    aaah not so different between the top three teams any more is it??

    I would've expected this to be a Bret Harris article, but it doesn't say that the Brumbies are a sure win away from home with 14 out of 26 and the Force are dismal with 13 out of 26
