Eight runs in ten finished between 1 Fiji and 48 Fiji, half of them between 6 Fiji and 33 Fiji, with the middle run at 17 Fiji.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 36 and 81 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 31-14 on a tight afternoon and 43-26 on an open one.

Why Fiji are favoured

How the model arrives at the chance of Fiji 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 Fiji, a bar to the left helps Romania.

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.
