[QUOTE="Mike Rolls, post: 827081, member: 72439"] Bonus points in the 6 nations is a ridiculous idea. Points difference is bad enough - making beating Italy on your own turf on a mild day by two points a better result that going away to Wales, Ireland, England Scotland or France in a rainstorm and winning by one! At the moment Italy are, relatively speaking, pushovers. Four tries against them - especially at the end of the 6N season when they tend to fall away due to injuries and having less depth than the others (apart perhaps from Scotland) will be a damn side easier than scoring four against Wales in Cardiff or Ireland in Dublin, etc. More sympathy - but still don't agree with, the losing bonus idea - a pat on the head for trying, but a bit condescending for all that. In a competition where you have two away games and three home one year, and the reverse the next, there is already enough of an imbalance, Mike [/QUOTE]
