[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 827063, member: 58362"] You're right in what you say, but IMO bonus points are a more equitable way of deciding who wins than giving the win to whoever played Italy last / on a hard pitch. Given that the winner has been decided on points difference three times in the last ten years, there's a good chance of bonus points being significant once teams factor them into their thinking. Good point, but I'd have thought that that scenario is unlikely as it's likely that three teams that are evenly matches after 4 games will have racked up a similar number of bonus points. [/QUOTE]
