[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 556508, member: 13611"] Bonus points in the 6 Nations? I'm all for it but one safeguard must be put in place. It's wrong that, however unlikely, a team which does the Slam can theoretically finish 2nd. If a team can win 4 games and get 5 bonus points, it can finish with 21 points. It must be ensured that the least amount of points a Grand Slam winning team can finish with is 22. Therefore I propose that if a team does the Slam, it's automatically given 2 bonus points. 5 wins + 2 slam bonus points = 22 points and a guaranteed championship win. European international rugby has been poor for the best part of a decade in my opinion and something must be done to address that. I can't recall a single good 6 Nations championship since 2009 (and I'm including Ireland's Slam that year won playing turgid rugby). [/QUOTE]
