I put all 16 URC teams on the same 20 charts before I looked at the table. One team landed in the elite corner 12 times out of 20, and they're not top. So do the charts actually know who's winning? I add it all up at the end and put the table next to it.
I'm a Super Rugby fan learning the northern club competitions through the numbers. This is the first episode of A Super Rugby Fan's Guide to Northern Club Rugby: the URC after four rounds. The Premiership and the Top 14 are coming next, and I'll come back to the URC after a few more rounds.
Which URC team should I follow? And if I got something wrong, tell me in the comments. I'm learning this competition as I go.
I'm trying to get to 10,000 subscribers by the end of the year. If this helped, please like, subscribe and share it with your fellow rugby tragics.
Stats: RugbyPass, URC 2026/27, rounds 1–4. Dashed lines on every chart are the league median.
