Wales v Ireland

**davidrmac** · 16-03-2009, 11:12

Maybe I am missing something here . Can anybody help ?
The six nations table shows that Ireland have a +25 points advantage over Wales .
All of the media state that Wales must win by 13 points to be champions . How does this work ?

Mac plus and minus Ireland have a 25 point lead half of that is 12.5 so if we win by 13 points minus 13 points off ireland plus 13 for wales is 26 points differance 1 point winners

Anita Ireland have a 25 point advantage over wales so Wales have to beat Ireland by at least 13 points you ask yourself that leave's a gap of 12 NO for every point Wales gains on Ireland it also takes a point away from them for example Ireland have scored 100 points and conceded 75 thats advantage of the +25 points. Wales have say scored 50 and conceded 50 thats an advantage of 0 points
Wales beat ireland 25-12 which is only 13 points
so final standings
Ireland scored 112 conceded 100 Difference + 12
Wales scored 75 conceded 62 Difference + 13
hope that explains it for you
