That definitely needs more qualifying. Winning an aerial dual doesn't mean they are useful to the team. What would make this a worthwhile stat would be knowing what happened to the ball as a direct result of those. If 6/7 of those ended up with the ball going out of play, ending up with the opposition etc it becomes pretty meaningless.
