For years, Stats Perform has partnered with @LeagueOne_JP to collect detailed statistics from every match across the league – supporting team performance and storytelling on and off the pitch.

These insights are also used to recognise individual excellence at the league's annual awards ceremony. This year, Stats Perform's Takuma Hayasaka had the honour to present @bravelupus1048's Michael Leitch with the 2024/25 Division 1 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐫 award.

@T2Rugby It's no surprise, Top 14 not televised here. Timezone horrendous for nearly all Euro/African rugby. 3am start Sunday morning to watch 6 Nations is not appetising to most.

[Will Kane @willytk007]

@horstpwr Loved the content, a really refreshing style. All the best with whatever comes next

31 - The Flying Fijians have played 31 Tests v Tier 1 nations since the 2011 Rugby World Cup, only twice have their opponents recorded a tackle success rate of 90% or better:

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 - 93.9% (Nov 2022)
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 - 94.2% (Nov 2024)

Grounded.

17 - Riley Higgins is the Opta Player of the Season for @BunningsNPC 2024. He was one of just two players to score (6) and assist (7) more than five tries, made a league-high 3.4 offloads per 80 minutes, and finished with 17 line breaks - the equal-most of any player. Roar.

[OptaJonny @OptaJonny]

37% - South Africa went 'low' with 37% of their tackle attempts against New Zealand (hips or lower), the highest rate of any team in Round 3 of #TRC2024 (excluding missed tackles with no contact). Chop.

[Tight Five Rugby @TightFive_Rugby]

As an official with endless camera angles, replays and time, how can you deem this as a try.

Baffling.

[OptaJason @OptaJason]

223 - Shaun Johnson (@NZWarriors) is ranked second among all halfbacks in try assists (223), line break assists (187), line breaks (108), and tries (85) in the NRL since the beginning of the 2011 season. Amaze.

[OptaJason @OptaJason]

1201 - Shaun Johnson has scored the most points (1,201), the second most tries (79) and made the fourth most appearances (222) for @NZWarriors of any player in #NRL history. X-Factor.

@thoughtlesslabs @PirateSoftware That's the Tim Tam Slam!!! One of life's great disappointments once you try it yourself

[Will Kane @willytk007]

@SquidgeRugby Get him putting in MOTM winning performances on end of season tours of NZ/Aus/RSA and he’ll be well in the picture. The only thing missing from his repertoire.

[OptaJason @OptaJason]

1 - The @AllBlacks defeated England 16-15 today, the third time in their last four meetings that the game has been decided by a margin of 1 point or fewer. Breathless.
