Eight runs in ten finished between 24 Toulon and 12 Cheetahs, half of them between 14 Toulon and 4 Cheetahs, with the middle run at 4 Toulon.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 33 and 73 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 23-19 on a tight afternoon and 33-29 on an open one.

Why Cheetahs are not favoured
