In rugby the losing side get the bonus point if they lose by less than 7. That could incorporated somehow?

Do you mean team a 25 team b 20?  Difference of 5 gets a bonus point?

Mind England v Wales in 2015? Wales won 28-25, and got 4 points, but England got 1 point because the score was so close. Its usually a difference of 7 as in 1 try plus conversion.

 

Tbh that's how I assumed you were running it until I suddenly wound up with 20 odd points! :lol:

England would have got one bonus point if they scored 4 tries. Same for all teams.

Indeed, however, they only scored 1 try.

 

England 23px-Flag_of_England.svg.png 25–28 23px-Flag_of_Wales_%281959%E2%80%93prese Wales
Try: May 27' c
Con: Farrell (1/1) 29'
Pen: Farrell (5/5) 12', 24', 44', 52', 69'
Drop: Farrell 18'
Report

Try: G. Davies 71' c
Con: Biggar (1/1) 72'
Pen: Biggar (7/7) 3', 16', 40', 48', 54', 59', 75'

 

 

 

  • 4 points for winning a match
  • 2 points for drawing a match
  • 0 points for losing a match
  • 1 losing bonus point for losing by 7 points (or fewer)
  • 1 try bonus point for scoring (at least) 4 tries, regardless of the outcome.

 

Pretty sure a team has got 2 points for losing (4 tries, close lose) - looking it up, Wales did when they lost to Fiji in 2007. But somewhat rare!

Too complicated and time consuming I propose the original with a margin of +/- 3

Sounds good to me. Everybody happy to try this going forward from tomorrow's game?  IE starting with the Russia v Samoa game.

Russia 9 Samoa 34 score difference 25. + or - 3 gives the range 22-28.  I'll update the scores shortly.   Sorry it's a bit late, just in from work.
