IMHO it worked well in the pool stages of that tournament!

6 nations table under this system:
England 11pts
France 11pts
Ireland 9 pts
Scotland 8 pts
Wales 4 pts
Italy 0 pts


Same system as Tri Nations and Super14 are played under Luke.........I like it too and it does promote scoring tries............just take a look at the amount scored in the current Super14........it is great watching guys really throwing the ball around.......and the skills levels are amazing

and I don't think that too many people could argue with your adjusted 6 Nations Table on merit.............that's about how I would rate the teams on performance so far........maybe next year!
