Bristol ahead at Saracens.... if they win tge bottom of the table is not very far away from is at all
They didn’t win though.
As it is we are in 7th, 8 points ahead of 11th, 6 points ahead of 10th but only 3 points behind the team in 4th. That team is Saints to whom we ceded 3 league points (or were on the wrong side of a 6 point turnaround depending on your point of view). One missed conversion today is the difference.

Better for us they didn't imo.
I think at this stage in a tight season i would view it as the wrong side of a 6 point turnaround. There is no such thing as an easy game now for us so i am really hoping we don't get sucked in to a fight to not end up on the bottom.
A missed conversion or taking the points instead of going for the corner...
Games are often won or lost on tight margins... last season we won a lot of those, this season seems to be going the other way. I don't think there is any harm in hoping other results help us out.
Quins vs. Irish: Tom Pearson is just class and been impressed by Chandler Cunningham-South’s work-rate. Nick David also playing well for Quins on the wing, made a try and a try-saving tackle.
Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.
Table updated,now in 8th. 26 points off Sarries and 18 points away from a home SF. 8 points ahead of bottom placed Bristol. Only 3 points off 4th though!

No mention of being 4 points from 3rd or 3 points from 4th? Seems like an odd omission.

As champions we should aim high should we not?

We as champions you should aim high do you not?
Crazy that we are almost the equivalent of 7 more wins off Sarries! Let’s hope we turn it around and it doesn’t go down as the worse premiership title defence ever!
