WHAT DOES BONUS POINT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rugby union bonus points system

The Rugby union bonus points system is a method of deciding table points from a rugby union match. It was implemented in order to encourage attacking play throughout a match, to discourage repetitive goal-kicking, and to reward teams for "coming close" in losing efforts. Under the standard system, points are awarded as follows: ▪ 4 points for a win. ▪ 2 points for a draw. ▪ 1 "bonus" point for scoring 4 tries. ▪ 1 "bonus" point for losing by 7 points. No team can get more than 5 points in a match. The French professional league, Ligue Nationale de Rugby, uses a similar system in its two competitions, the Top 14 and Rugby Pro D2. After trialling the system in 2007-08, LNR adopted the new system permanently after that season. The French system awards points in this manner: ▪ 4 points for a win. ▪ 2 points for a draw. ▪ 1 "bonus" point for winning while scoring at least 3 more tries than the opponent. ▪ 1 "bonus" point for losing by 7 points. This system prevents a losing team from picking up two bonus points in the same match, as is possible under the normal system.
