Rules explained With the Six Nations rugby tournament back for 2025 today, here’s absolutely everything you need to know about the bonus points rules.
It is not possible for a team to miss out on the Six Nations title if they mark that achievement because three bonus points are given for registering a Grand Slam.
In the Six Nations, four points are awarded for winning a match and two points are given for a draw.
If a team scored four tries in a match and loses by seven points or fewer, they are awarded two bonus points.
A losing bonus point is also awarded for teams losing by seven or fewer points.
