Eight runs in ten finished between 1 Zebre and 35 Lyon, half of them between 4 Lyon and 23 Lyon, with the middle run at 11 Lyon.
Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 32 and 73 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 26-15 on a tight afternoon and 36-25 on an open one.
