How we qualify for Euro QFs

I'm not being negative.
Surely we are now playing for pride anything else would be a bonus.
For me this season has gone. Too much to do.

we can rest the best in the 2 week AWC that follows Europe.

We have to assume munster will beat racing and so we cannot overhaul them.

If Glasgow take 5 points from munster and we take 4 at racing we are out, or if we lose to racing we are out- obviously!

However we should go into the final match with an outside chance of qualifying. To play a weakened side at home in final round of Europe when we have a sniff of qualifying would be unthinkable. We are not Saints nor do we have their values.

To go through at the expense of Glasgow may involve needing a 30 point win, though other scenarios are very possible depending on what Glasgow get out of Munster game. If they beat munster without a bonus point a simple (!) 5 points at racing and 5-0 win over Glasgow will do it! Or 4 point win at racing and 30 point (5-0) win over Glasgow. A munster win in Glasgow makes life a lot simpler. Come on munster. You can do it.

In case there is a misunderstanding when I said we assume munster beat racing I meant the round 6 match at munster when we are playing Glasgow.

Now that everybody has played 4 games the picture is much clearer. What we need from this weekend is a bonus point win over Racing and hope that Munster win in Glasgow. Then it would be down to the last match to see who comes second in the pool and just hope that 18 or 17 points is good enough to qualify for the quarter finals. Keep everything crossed.

Our next substitution needs to be Tom Youngs off and Lazarus on
