As in the 2017 tournament, the 2018 tournament used the rugby union bonus points system common to other professional tournaments:[1] "As well as the standard four points for a win or two for a draw, a team scoring four or more tries during a match will receive an additional league table point, as will a team losing by 7 or fewer points".[1] "Additionally, to ensure that a team winning all of its five matches (a Grand Slam) will also win the Championship, three bonus points will be awarded for this achievement".[1][2]
