Any team that puts a run of 3-4 consecutive wins should do it!!
Lots of running rugby this weekend until we play tomorrow but I’d take a few ugly wins!!
I think the top 3 are nailed on mate but not sure about 4th yet.

Scott 1 you may be right but I’m not sure about Quins as they haven’t rested any players yet and haven’t been hit by international call ups! I’d love to see Quins make top 4 but in the last few weeks they’ve failed to close out games! Fitness in the last 15-20 minutes might be an issue.
Saints have begun to hit form and like us have players to come back in.

Good points! Just hope we can get a TBP win and stay in the mix 🤞

Feel for Luke James, not really sure what he could have done in that scenario

Let’s hope it’s looked at again end of season and refs are given more leeway to use their common sense! Needs ripping up and starting again

Its getting really silly, some high tackles punished others not, complete accidents due to players slipping or suddenly changing position earning cards. They will destroy the game if results depend players having to leave the pitch through no fault of their own.

Now this one is a yellow! But in other games would’ve perhaps ridiculously been given a red

If the outcome is reducing the tackle height it will achieve something, if it doesn't this will just carry on...reduce the tackle height maybe the ruck mess will be next on the list to tidy up.

There does need to be some sympathy to late changes of players positions, but arguably that could be addressed at the disciplinary hearings.

If this is player led as we are told to believe, its for the players to adjust to their own wishes
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Wait until players start going low and start being knocked out by knees? What then? Would you ban punches to the head in boxing? Games going to the wall!
