Ah, I wondered if it might be something like that. Joel Send a noteboard - 01/10/2011 04:19:49 AM
Those tries were France's 3rd and 4th of the game. If you score 4 tries or more in a game, you get 4 points for the win plus a bonus point. As the top 2 teams from each pool of 5 teams qualify for the quarter finals, a bonus point could be the difference between playing in the quarter finals and going home early.

Not being up on the World Cup tourny rules I could not be sure. As noted in Wikipedias article, in situations like that running up the score is an invalid concept.

It's not that crazy. Ok, some of it is basic, but some is just trivia. Vivien - 30/09/2011 04:09:14 PM 854 Views
7's a good score. Rebekah - 30/09/2011 06:32:59 PM 785 Views
I got a 6. Maybe there should be a math question in there? Vivien - 30/09/2011 07:02:22 PM 727 Views
