With so many players and clubs doing media each day, it can be hard to keep on top of a lot of the stories coming out.
Rugby is filled with them across all levels of the game and whilst most are covered through some form of media, there are others that might have slipped off the radar as Super Rugby Pacific and the Wallabies squad.
One Percenters looks at everything you might have missed from the week of Rugby.
Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has suggested certain players may be left out of the Wallabies squad to prioritise them getting game-time with Australia A.
Rennie will name a 35-player squad on Sunday, with a further 30 players to be named to play in the Pacific Nations Cup.
"We're going to pick 35 in our squad, there'll be 30 in the Australian A side," Rennie said.
"That's come into our thinking, there might be the odd guy who we think might be better served with three games at another level higher than Super Rugby, rather than maybe sitting in the background and not getting an opportunity against England.
"And then there's the option, if we feel that some guys need some footy who are in our squad, to maybe send them to Fiji potentially for the third Test to get some rugby."
With Rugby Australia confirming a partnership with Sportable, there has never been a time where stats have been more rich and available to clubs, coaches and fans.
As data continued to develop, take a look at some of the more interesting and unique stats heading into the semi-finals, courtesy of Opta.
- The Brumbies have to defy history to book their spot in the finals, with the Blues winning five of their last six games and both of their previous finals encounters, including the 1997 Final and 2003 Semi-Final.
- Both teams are lethal inside the 22, with the Blues (3.1) and Brumbies (2.8) scoring the most and third-most points per attacking 22 entry.
- Pete Samu has been dominant with ball in hand (7 line breaks), with just Fraser McReight (9) recording more line breaks by a forward
- Folau Fainga’a remains the go-to man in attack, scoring in his last four matches and has scored four in his last two starts against the Blues
- The Crusaders have won 10 of their last 14 matches against the Chiefs, however, both teams have split their four finals encounters, with the hosts claiming the 2021 Super Rugby Aotearoa title.
- The Chiefs have won only two of their 11 previous Super Rugby finals games as the away team on the day, with both of those wins coming against the Stormers in 2016 and 2017.
Major League Rugby (MLR) has been forced into crisis mode after LA Giltinis and Austin Gilgronis were expelled from the season-ending playoffs.
Austin were expelled last week and LA, home of former Wallabies star Matt Giteau, were stood aside on Wednesday with a brief social media statement from MLR.
“Due to a violation of league rules, the LA Giltinis have been disqualified from the 2022 Major League Rugby competition," they said via social media.
"The Houston SaberCats will now host the Western Conference Final and play the winner of the Western Conference Eliminator between the Seattle Seawolves and San Diego Legion at Starfire Stadium."
Clermont has confirmed they have signed Waratahs outside back Alex Newsome and Brumbies centre Irae Simone.
The duo will head overseas as the French club announced seven new signings ahead of the 2022-23 season.
They are joined by Toulon duo Anthony Belleau and centre Julien Hériteau as well as Argentina international Bautista Delguy.
Meanwhile, the Rebels confirmed Powell's departure overnight as part of their Awards night.
He will be joined by Ross Haylett Petty, with winger Young Tonumaipea set to make the move back to rugby league
Cap presentations are always special, however, for new Wallaroo Anabelle Codey, it was made even more priceless as it was done by dad David Codey.
The Rugby Australia President was in New Zealand to watch his daughter debut in the 23-10 defeat, with Reds centre Cecilia Smith also making her debut.
It marks the first father-daughter Internationals for the Wallabies and Wallaroos with David going on to play 13 caps for the Wallabies.
