Eight runs in ten finished between 1 Scarlets and 35 Pau, half of them between 3 Pau and 23 Pau, with the middle run at 11 Pau.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 33 and 75 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 37-26 on an open one.
