Gloucester 19 What Do The Numbers In Parenthesis Mean In Rugby Scoring?

What do the numbers in parenthesis mean in Rugby Scoring? - gloucester 19

I attended the rugby results of the BBC and to understand how to award points for a try, conversion and penalty, but I do not understand what does the number in parentheses. For example:
Saracens 19-16 Gloucester

Saracens (9) 19
Proof: British with Jackson drop-goal: Jackson Pens: Jackson 3
Gloucester (13) 16
Try: With Pen Lawson Robinson: Robinson 3

Want to mean the number nine after the Saracens and Gloucester 13 places to go from here? Thank you!

That would be the half time score

The score in parentheses is the score of the half-time, ie it was 13.9 for Gloucester midway in this game. There is only the reader the impression of what was happening half the time.
