Today’s predictions:
Tigers to win by 15 (at the very least!)
Saints & Glos to win
Worcester to beat Bath, who get a losing bonus point and relegate Falcons to bottom of the table.

Let’s hope the semis and final are decent in our Premiership, because the schedule has been a damp squib. Gloucester v Saracens, last day of the season, Jubilee weekend, looking for a packed house…..and the weakened team comes out. It’s a joke and shouldn’t be allowed. The cricket has started. Rugby just doesn’t help itself does it !?

Why shouldn’t they be allowed? They are guaranteed a home SF and finishing top isn’t in their own hands. I have no problem at all with what they have done. Whether it will come back to haunt them in the semis who knows?

I do agree that it devalues the fixture, no different to Leinster sending a 2nd team to South Africa really. However as others have said it’s their choice and and they will fail or succeed by it.

Why isn't that a yellow card for Mapimpi?! Another incident when the try has been punishment enough, this needs looking at,it happens WAY too often!

This argument has been running for about 20 years now - and will continue as long as the play-off system does! The reason Saracens are able to manage their squad as they see fit to be ready for the play-offs is because they delivered the right results throughout the season - Saints and Gloucester are having to scrap it out on the final day because they haven’t been consistent.

I don’t get the point about impact on attendance either - are you suggesting that because Saracens are resting a few players, Gloucester fans won’t show up at Kingsholm and go to find some cricket to watch instead?!

Happened again! Yellow warning for next infringement in the 22,Sharks infringe,try is scored by Bulls and yellow is forgotten about. Really needs to change this!

I guess McCall is focused on getting to HQ rather than league position?

Northampton next week then. As good and attractive as they are half their tries were given to them by falcons on turnovers. Falcons also showed they are vulnerable to runs close in with power, and their line out wasn’t great.

Will be an interesting game of 2 very different styles.

Because I said so that’s why !! Saints had a full on Newcastle to beat whilst Gloucester were always going to get 5 points. It’s all ifs and buts but they shouldn’t allow it with top 4 etc on the line….in my opinion. How would you feel if Tigers didn’t make it because another club rolled over !? Especially Sarries !
