How the Six Nations works

Teams earn four points for a win and two for a draw.

Teams earn one bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match and for losing by seven points or fewer.

A team that completes a Grand Slam by beating all five other nations is awarded three extra bonus points to guarantee them the title.
