Eight runs in ten finished between 16 Saracens and 19 Munster, half of them between 7 Saracens and 10 Munster, with the middle run at 1 Munster.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 31 and 72 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 20-19 on a tight afternoon and 31-30 on an open one.

Why Munster are favoured
