Cloete crowned PRO14 Turnover King

Published on

Munster flank Chris Cloete has bagged the Turnover King accolade at the PRO14 annual awards.

The Turnover King title was introduced in 2018 to recognise the player who showed the most skill in winning the ball back for his team in order to encourage attacking play.

Cloete totaled 14 turnovers, a tally which was matched by Scarlets breakthrough flank Jac Morgan, however, using the Opta stats the total number of jackaler turnovers was used as a tie-breaker.

The Munster man claimed 12 jackals compared to Morgan’s nine and, remarkably, accrued his total of 14 turnovers in just 508 minutes of play compared to his rival’s 720 minutes.
