The Pooler fly half has been setting the pace at the top of the table all season, but Ebbw Vale’s Evan Lloyd jumped to the top of the pile after round 14.
But after Pontypool brushed aside Swansea at St Helen’s last weekend, Jarvis fiinds himself looking over his shoulder again with 137 points. Pontypridd full back Josh Phillips sits alongside Jarvis with 137 points, although Jarvis has the better success rate with the boot with an 82% ratio compared to Phillips’ 75%.
Lloyd now finds himself in third place in the pecking order while Cardiff’s Harrison James is the next cab off the rank (114 points) while Bridgend’s Luke Price is edging nearer to the century mark in fifth place with 93 points.
Pooler powerhouse Scott Matthews is showing up well too – leading the way in three seperate categories. He has got through a shed load of work for the Gwent pack, having carried the ball into battle on 135 occasions, two more than Cardiff’s Morgan Allen.
He has has 108 ‘post tackle’ involvements and made more counter ruck attempts (28) than any other player in the Prem so far this season.
