(It should be noted that, while the GB score achieved more V-Bulls than the Aussie score, the Aussie score was
achieved in Australia, where the V-Bull is smaller, while the GB score was achieved in the UK. As such, the ‘V’
counts are not readily comparable, and it is not possible to say which was the higher score on Vs – it therefore
seems fair to call this one a tie)
