ROME (Reuters) - Wales just missed out on scoring a bonus point in the first round of the Six Nations championship but their thirst for one helped put them on top of the table on Sunday. They were eager to get the bonus point," Howley said. Time will tell how the system works but France and Ireland were not complaining about being the first sides to earn a bonus point in defeat. "We don't go into game thinking about bonus points. But when we finally scored (a try), we were pushing to get that bonus point," said centre Scott Williams.
