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

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 35 and 80 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 42-25 on an open one.
