Collingwood couldn't win in April for about 5 years running at one stage.
They should never play a game in a month ending in 'L' because it ends up being an 'L' for them.
This is a case of correlation. We both know that the 2 just happen to coincide and actually have no say in the end result.
This is the same in this case as your stats show.
I showed different data that showed, much more definitively, that the result of a match was not about who was in the team but who we were playing against. Play against a top team and you lose. 1 ruck, 2 rucks, 23 rucks, didn't matter.
Play against a low ranked team and you win, again, #rucks was irrelvent.
THAT is causation. Opposition team strength determines the result....not the number of rucks we played.
