An excellent question, and I'm struggling a bit with the data to answer it. I think I've got the kicked behinds, but having trouble with the rushed. I'll report back when I understand it!
People might argue that an extra 6 points from frees (and maybe some behinds), equals a fair chunk of the margin of 11. And they might be right. I guess my point is that if the differential were very important, the margin should be a lot more. And were the frees that led to scores the "good ones" - those that were there, as judged by an impartial observer? A fan might say no frees against are good, or course
