The steppers skip 1, 2 and 4. Points come in fives, threes and twos with a conversion needing a try in front of it, so no match has ever finished on any of them.

Where that lands
La Rochelle by 75+levelClermont Auvergne by 75+

18.5% of runs finished in this bin — within 2 points either way.

52 points is around the 56th percentile of the total — the middle run scored 49.

Those two figures are separate readings and are not multiplied together. The simulation draws the gap and the amount of scoring independently, so one bar of the histogram covers many scorelines and the payload holds nothing about which of them came up with which gap.

What the model says
Clermont Auvergne 49.1%La Rochelle 48.4%average 25–26

Your pick names a different winner from the model, which makes Clermont Auvergne more likely. The model’s two answers point different ways here: it makes Clermont Auvergne the more likely winner while its average scoreline has La Rochelle. That is not a contradiction — the average gap is taken over both winners, so a side that wins narrowly more often can still be behind on it. Nothing here scores any of it. The model’s gap is an average over both winners and yours is one afternoon, so the two are different kinds of number rather than one being right. How the model works.

Why Clermont Auvergne are favoured

How the model arrives at the chance of Clermont Auvergne winning. It starts at an even 50%, and each line below adds to that or takes from it, in percentage points (pp): a bar to the right helps Clermont Auvergne, a bar to the left helps La Rochelle.

The fixture

Clermont Auvergne and La Rochelle have no fixture on the published schedule, so there is no ground, no kick-off forecast and no team sheet to put beside this. The prediction itself does not need any of them.

23 meetings — Clermont Auvergne 13, La Rochelle 9, 1 drawn. Last 2026: La Rochelle 38–13 Clermont Auvergne.

None of this reaches the model. Weather is not a feature, team selection is not a feature and the record is already inside both ratings, so the probability above does not move because any of it changed.
