Eight runs in ten finished between 10 Toulon and 27 Edinburgh, half of them between 3 Toulon and 16 Edinburgh, with the middle run at 5 Edinburgh.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 30 and 72 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 22-17 on a tight afternoon and 33-28 on an open one.

Why Edinburgh are favoured

How the model arrives at the chance of Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh, a bar to the left helps Toulon.
