1 Round to go what we need

[RagingBull]

Simple outrights
1) So either we win v Wasps and it doesn't matter. (Realistically we should be beating Wasps if we are hoping not to get spanked by the top European teams)
2) Irish lose to Bristol
3) Bath lose to Saints

4) We get bonus point and Irish fail to get a TBP win v Bristol

5) We get 2 bonus points
i) Bath fail to get a TBP win v Saints
ii) Irish fail to get a TBP win v Bristol

A miracle,think the chance has gone imo. We will lose and LI will beat Brizzle,Bath will win too.

Everything seems to be against us though! We can only hope and pray Barnes gets the gig!

Do let us know when you say something positive about the club won’t you.

KTF…

Problem is if Bristol field a weakened side out of spite......

They will anyway with the playoffs a week after. Saints will be on holiday so a Bath win is as good as guaranteed imo. It will come down to the other 2 games.

[RagingBull]

So be it.

We should be targeting this game.
If we can’t beat wasps then how will we really fare in Europe?

[Scott1]

So much ringfencing killing the league though ay

True! We’ve had some bad decisions go against us but you really do deserve to be where you are in the league after 22 games. If we don’t qualify we weren’t good enough,that’s it really

IDK no team wants to finish a season with a loss

True,but you switch off a bit really if there’s nothing to play for. And I think they will go full hammer tomorrow at home to Chiefs

Thanks RB was just about to try and work this all out.. we can beat Wasps for sure. Is it a given.. absolutely not. We pushed the best team in the league all the way today and could (should) have won. So yes, imho we can beat Wasps. Would be nice to know a bit more about Ford and his absence as we could do with him next week. The lads will be fired up for sure after this week.

Option 4 looks like a pretty likely option too.. we get a LBP and Bristol stop Irish getting 4 tries. Reckon Bristol will field a B team though with a guaranteed home semi now so that might not come to fruition.

Problem for me is the 2 teams that could do us a big favour (Bristol and Saints) have nothing left to play for. Saints are guaranteed to finish in top 8 and Bristol guaranteed to finish top.

Today has really annoyed me and I sincerely hope it doesn't stop us getting into the big boys competition next season. If we lose by one point we will look back and wonder why we didn't kick the 3 and take the draw late on there.. oh well.. exciting weekend ahead next week

Bristol want to finish top so will need a win if Exeter win tomorrow......prefer to play Quins in the play offs
