Bonus Points in the RWC

Ginger · 2007-08-27 09:31:31

Quick question I know there are bonus points for the RWC but can a team get 2 bonus points in the one match where they score both 4 tries and loose by less than 7 points?? Thought it was always a case of only being able to get 1 bonus point in a match. This btw is to settle a bet!

Which in essence is the same as a draw..

I thought they were changing this in NZ where you had to score 4 more tries than your opponent..
