TOM'S TOPS

Farrell's figures add up to URC number one

- DEREK FOLEY

MUNSTER'S Tom Farrell is the most valuable attacking player in the URC, and there is no arguing with the 31 year-old outside centre's statistics.

Figures he is hoping to add to as the Reds host Benetton in Cork tomorrow night (8pm), a match that has morphed into a straight knockout game.

The uncapped Dubliner's numbers are certainly eye-popping:

TOP URC Try Scorer: Nine (Cardiff's Harri Millard, Glasgow's Johnny Matthews and Scarlets' Blair Murray are on 8).

TOP for carries: 223

TOP for offloads: 40 (five of them assists for tries)

TOP for post-contact metres: 217

SECOND for defenders beaten: 58

SECOND for minutes played: 1,293 (behind Cardiff's Cam Winnett's 1,347 mins)

LEADING URC playmaker: 153 points (ahead of Stormers' Warrick Gelant on 118 points)
