Just 11 points off fourth

[ellis9]

Bristol have beaten Gloucester 28-24 meaning Tigers are only 11 points off fourth.

Not bad really when so many people have been banging on all season about how superb Gloucester are.

What's that got to do with anything?

Are we or are we not just 11 points from 4th?

You commented on Glos, I simply pointed out they did substantially better than Tigers at Bristol.

Gloucester did not play with 14 men for most of the match as did Tigers, which contributed to the heavy defeat. Bristol are a good side and deserve some credit for the performances that they have put in.

Well yes and that sums it up about most people on here. Rather than say, 11 points is an amount we can pull back, you have to make a negative point that wasn't really relevant. I mentioned Gloucester lost to help explain that we are only 11 points behind them, not to have a dig at them for losing to Bristol.

I thought that Bristol got very lucky with the refereeing against Leicester with Madigan falling into Eastmond and I thought that they got lucky with the refereeing again tonight.

Only 11 points. Should be pretty straightforward to close that gap. Especially considering our outstanding recent form.

What an absolute joke windup of a thread

If my predictions for this weekend turn out to be correct, then the table will look like this on Sunday evening. I've left out 1st, 2nd and 12th as we are not finishing in those positions. I've included 3rd even though we won't finish there either.

3rd Quins 47 points
4th Gloucester 41 points
5th Saints 35 points
6th Wasps 35 points
7th Bath 34 points
8th Tigers 34 points
9th Sale 33 points
10th Bristol 30 points
11th Worcester 30 points

I've predicted Quins to win, Wasps, Sale, Saints and Bath to lose with Worcester winning to bring them up to 30 points.
