Mind you, that's only one game and Celtic would surely prefer to run at the one with least experience.
Also, the metres are racked up quickly with a couple of clear runs.
Nonetheless, most illuminating.

will his interception not count as about 40 metres?

they also kicked more to Hall, which is understandable.

Even so, take that out of the equation, and he still made more than 100m more that the great Scott. Most of that will account for his long break in the second half, which he passed to McGuire, who got ankle tapped (top effort that) IIRC.

That was from JJB's break wasn't it? Nothing to do with Hall or Donald's stats.

hmmm, now you've made me think....

Kirke made a break but he didnt took the tackle.

I thought Hall made a break down the North stand touch line in the second half and passed inside?

You could be right...my brain is turning into mush.

Interception? It was a pass, albeit one from an opposition player

The break that indeed led to McGuire being ankle tapped was from JJB.

Hall's lengthy break led to him running out of gas at half way and being caught on the outside by Dick Van Dyke. I don't need statistics to tell me that in the same situation Donald would've been grounding the ball beneath the sticks.

Thank you!

So between Halls break and interception, that may account for a large chunk of his metres gained over Donald (and the fact he was kicked to more).

I don't think I'm up to reviewing the second half to find out.

I wonder if Duggan got 'an Opta try assist' for that one, he should have.
