Where that lands
Western Force by 75+levelNew South Wales Waratahs by 75+

19.5% of runs finished in this bin — within 2 points either way.

54 points is around the 54th percentile of the total — the middle run scored 52.

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.

The fixture

New South Wales Waratahs and Western Force 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.

17 meetings — New South Wales Waratahs 9, Western Force 8. Last 2026: Western Force 31–25 New South Wales Waratahs.

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.
