Seb would actually have to drop a lot more time than just letting Elfyn by. He'd have to drop behind Andreas too for the Sunday points. I'm assuming Elfyn will overcome Munster during the PS. Probably best strategy is that Seb makes sure he doesn't beat Elfyn in the PS.

I'd agree that this is one unintended good consequence of the new points system. Although I'm still not a fan of it overall.
