Eight runs in ten finished between 11 Saracens and 27 Bulls, half of them between 2 Saracens and 16 Bulls, with the middle run at 6 Bulls.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 31 and 72 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 23-17 on a tight afternoon and 34-28 on an open one.

Why Bulls are favoured

How the model arrives at the chance of Bulls winning. It starts at an even 50%, and each line below adds to that or takes from it, in percentage points (pp): a bar to the right helps Bulls, a bar to the left helps Saracens.
