Excellent team that should deliver the goods and we really need a bonus point win this weekend to keep that 4th place, So confident that I've already booked a hire car from the 1st of May for 2 weeks that will get me to Worcester and I would imagine Coventry for the semi.

For two weeks!! Extravagence! - must have advantageous rates for retired travel agents!
Up grade to a mini-bus, Noddy, and take the rest of us, will you!! Oh, and please could the driver come down to Toulouse to pick me up?
We also need to build a lead and stop Newcastle, Sale and Worcester from scoring too many points. There's no point winning 35-30 for example if Bath win 40-10 in the next 3 games. We would both be level on points and match wins so it would come down to points difference meaning Bath would finish 4th if those scores happened.
We need to take all the points on offer right from the start. Build a lead and be very clinical. If we can be clinical, we only need 4 try scoring chances on top of taking every 3 point opportunity offered.
Newcastle will come with nothing to lose which suits them so it won't be easy and the way Quins are playing v Exeter shows any team from Bath, Tigers, Saints and Quins could get 4 th. Take nothing for ganted. Was at Newcastle and Sale earlier in the season and Tigers scraped a lucky win in Newcastle and as for Sale-34-30 loss. Just turn up tomorrow and for once play for 80 + minutes.
Well I certainly put the curse on Quins. I must praise Falcons as soon as they get on the pitch tomorrow! Tigers need Exeter's clinical finishing. Superb.

A win for us tomorrow and a Sarries win on Sunday would virtually leave 4th place between us and Bath. On top of that I will be keeping an eye on Worcester this weekend.

I'm glad you informed me of that as it wasn't obvious.

Sorry Robespierre although I find Toulouse one of the nicest cities in France it's a bit out of my way from Derby to Worcester and Derby to Coventry. I pay £130 per wek for a Vauxhall Corsa and have used this company for almost 30 years and since 1990 the price has only risen by about £40.
