# Rugby: A new rule in the Champions Cup means an attacking bonus point will only be earned if a team scores three or more tries more than its opponents. It was previously awarded for scoring four tries or more. The governing body says this will hopefully encourage teams to maintain high standards for the full 80 minutes. The Stormers play Bristol Bears in the opening round in Cape Town this weekend, the Bulls face Stade Francais at Loftus and the Lions are away to La Rochelle in France.
