Champions Cup introduces new try‑bonus rule requiring three‑try margin
The Champions Cup will overhaul its bonus‑point system next season, awarding try‑bonus points only to teams that finish the pool stage with at least a three‑try margin over their opponents. The rule aims to encourage more attacking rugby and will be accompanied by tweaks to the round‑of‑16 format.
These adjustments are intended to raise the competition’s intensity and deliver more thrilling matches for fans.
