    However, I couldn't let those beautiful graphs go unappreciated.

    Thanks! I love all the pretty-isation options in the new Excel

    Do you know who was William's partner for those matches?

    It was Brad Thorn (as his starting partner) for every game except South Africa in Dunedin and against Scotland. Both times other partner was Boric

    I feel that games where players subbed on or off should either not be included, or their numbers should be compensated up in some way.

    Good call, I'd be happy to share the data so people can weight it for me.

    And Haydn, aren't you impressed that we're ignoring all your data and conclusions that you put so much work into, and arguing about what sort of graph you should use?

    I totally love it! It speaks to a higher cause.

    Though I doubt anyone could argue with my findings: Ali Williams is erratic and Richie McCaw is awesome.

    Thing is, lines-in-between traditionally represent continuous change in levels.

    Yeah I know, and that's why I would use discrete data points if I was doing it for a research report.

    But wanted to emphaise the zig-zag-iness of the data which I think would be lost in a clustered bar chart.

    btw Lyndon, your link just sent me to a blank page, but it did make me notice that I forgot to put in Dan Carter's chart, will update soon.

    Change over "time" could just as easily be shown by the heights of a bars on a bar graph

    Hmmmm, interesting ... interesting ... but I would argue: "are you high?"

    Change over time on a bar chart? I get what you mean regarding the time span in between. But I would use a points rather than bars as bars cloud multiple data points. The lines between are to highlight the difference between the points.

    The New Zealand Scrabble team is considering calling themselves 'The Allphabets'. No joke

    What did they go with? The Black Tiles? The Silver Letter Word Scores?

    Do you know who was William's partner for those matches? I've noticed he seems to take a different role depending on whether Boric or Thorn is on the field.

    That is a very good question. I can look at that.

    Though I will admit there should be something for the Hong Kong and Samoa games.
