Eight runs in ten finished between 12 Pau and 25 Toulon, half of them between 3 Pau and 14 Toulon, with the middle run at 5 Toulon.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 30 and 71 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 22-17 on a tight afternoon and 33-28 on an open one.
