Beard Liberation Front
15th March
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with the final weekend of the 2025 Six Nations Rugby its trial of a new system of Beard Bonus points is concluding.
England lead the Beard Bonus Points table but only by a whisker from Ireland and Scotland

France 0
Italy 0
Wales 0
In 2025 a winning team will get a bonus point for scoring four or more tries. A losing team will get a bonus point on the same basis and a further bonus point if they lose by less than seven points.
The campaigners say that in each game a Beard Bonus Point will be awarded to teams that field at least 50% of players with facial hair across 80 minutes.
A final tally of Beard Bonus Points will be issued on March 15th with the final round of games
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, there is no question that Beard Power is important in men’s rugby and the Beard Bonus Points can be a key indicator of the winner of the Six Nations 2025
