[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 827013, member: 74121"] That is why I support it. In close championships it means the ***le is more likely to be decided by contests between top teams than by points difference versus Italy. Given Italy's current level I was very concerned about this at the next 6N as we'd see more results like 67-14 by Wales. It means ***le contenders don't have to put out their full first choice against weaker sides and therefore those games might not be quite so monumentally one sided. Personally I prefer the more simple Romanian BP system. Which i understand of he just one bonus point per game. If the points difference is less than 8 it goes to the loser. If it is 8 or more it goes to the winner. The problem with a more complex system is you can have a scenario that confuses everyone, like at the end of the PRO Rugby season in the US when TV awarded the championship to the wrong team before quickly correcting it. I'm not a complete dunce with arithmetic but i was completely lost watching the end of that season. [/QUOTE]
