Eight runs in ten finished between 15 Samoa and 30 Chile, half of them between 4 Samoa and 16 Chile, with the middle run at 4 Chile.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 29 and 69 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 21-17 on a tight afternoon and 31-27 on an open one.

A dash under Competition means the record does not name one, which is common — most rows on file carry no competition. None of this feeds the forecast: both ratings already contain these results.
