Perpignan

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
Perpignan by 75+levelNewcastle Falcons by 75+

14.9% of runs finished in this bin — Perpignan by 3 to 7.

54 points is around the 56th percentile of the total — the middle run scored 51.

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
Newcastle Falcons 39.2%Perpignan 58.3%average 24–29

Your pick agrees with the model on the more likely winner, Perpignan. 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 Newcastle Falcons are not favoured

How the model arrives at the chance of Newcastle Falcons 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 Newcastle Falcons, a bar to the left helps Perpignan.

The fixture

Newcastle Falcons and Perpignan 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.

2 meetings — Newcastle Falcons 2, Perpignan 0. Last 2026: Newcastle Falcons 26–19 Perpignan.

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.
