OK. You are crazy.

I'll have to spring to the defence of my province, who have not gone from triple Euro champs to not making playoffs in 6 months.

Bit of a glitch with having most of the backline and their replacements out for the first half of the season is all.

They have been in every Magners/Rabo final (and lost them all)

Have a look at Leinster's record going backwards.

2012 1st
2011 2nd
2010 1st
2009 3rd
2008 1st
2007 3rd
2006 2nd
2005 3rd

You have to go back to the 1st year of Welsh regional rugby for the last time they were not top 3 in the league.

I will eat my hat on live TV if they are not top 4 this year. Regardless of whether they make the HC, Amlin or neither.

Hey, I did say call me crazy Wink

I think Leinster are 1 of the best sides in Europe, and Im hoping they prove me right in that regard by reching the HEC QF's and focusing all their efforts there. Thats actually why I think they'll lose ground in the Rabo playoff spots, that'll be their second target if they get out of their HEC group whereas the other teams will have nothing left to play for but Rabo success.

Of course, being Leinster, they'll prove me wrong now I've said it.

Really hard to go against Ospreys or Leinster, so only one of Scarlets, Glasgow and Munster will make it, i think Glasgow will but next 2 games are primordial for them.

IMO Ulster, Leinster and Ospreys are bankers - I then believe its 1 out of Scarlets and Munster with the game at Parc Y Scarlets in the next week or so having a great significance on who will progress thumbsup

I agree Ruby. I also think Scarlets HAVE to learn how to beat the big teams. If they come out of the next 2 games without a win they'll be in trouble.

Ulster; Zebre (H), Glasgow (A), Treviso (H), Edinburgh (A), Leinster (A), Dragons (H), Connacht (A), Blues (H)

These are the fixtures that decide whether we finish top or not.

Win one of those and the rest of our games and we'll finish top.

We should come away with 5 or 6 points from the next two games if we are to keep the chase on. We beat Munster in Ireland and put 40+ on a similar strength Leinster (at home with better backs available granted) so it should be possible. Really the loss to you lot at pys and away really cost us.

The home games against Munster and Glasgow will be the playoff deciders.

If Glasgow can get their bonus point win tomorrow against Zebre, then they'll go second on 45 points. They've got an incredibly strong team listed to do it - i.e. mostly comprising the Scotland A team that gave the Saxons their annual wedgie, plus Strauss, Matawalu, DTH. Oh yes.

The next game against Ulster at home will determine their season.

Great stuff, george clap

Interesting to look at the remaining matches versus the pack competing for play-off spots:

Ulster; Zebre (H), Glasgow (A), Treviso (H), Edinburgh (A), Leinster (A), Dragons (H), Connacht (A), Blues (H)

Leinster; Treviso (H), Scarlets (H), Dragons (A), Glasgow (H), Ulster (H), Munster (A), Zebre (A), Ospreys (H)

Ospreys; Connacht (A), Edinburgh (H), Munster (A), Dragons (H), Blues (A), Treviso (H), Glasgow (A), Leinster (A)

Scarlets; Munster (H), Leinster (A), Edinburgh (H), Zebre (A), Dragons (A), Glasgow (H), Blues (A), Treviso (H)

Glasgow; Dragons (A), Ulster (H), Blues (H), Leinster (A), Munster (H), Scarlets (A), Ospreys (H), Connacht (A)

Munster; Scarlets (A), Treviso (A), Ospreys (H), Connacht (H), Glasgow (A), Leinster (H), Dragons (A), Zebre (A)

Theoretically Ulster, Scarlets & Ospreys have the easiest run ins, with key back-to-back-to-backs for Glasgow and Leinster in the closing stages

Glasgow now 2 ahead of Leinster and 3 ahead of Spreys.

Really hope those 2 TBPs we squandered against Edinburgh won't cost us. Literally 2 dropped passes is the difference between looking over our shoulder and sitting fairly pretty. Glasgow's season will be defined by what they can get out of their 2 home games with Munster and Ospreys.

Don't fear either at home, not in the way we used to. Our talent is starting to fire at the same time. Don't know the nature of DTH's head injury but we really need him back.

It's good to see the playoff race is really tight, but kind of sad the table is pretty much cut in two, 13pts between 6th & 7th.

Aye GC as I said elsewhere DTH and Tommy Seymour would have run riot today although McGuigan did ok

We lost only 4 games in all comps last season. 3 of them to Ospreys.

The last 2 were games we had in the bag but lost to last minute conversions.

Poxy fecken Ospreys. Crying or Very sad

Hope we get a chance of retribution this year.

Yes it is, though i think Treviso, Cardiff and Edinburgh (when they change their coaching staff) could step up. Also teams 1-6 plays for a place in the playoff while 6-12 plays for... pride which makes the difference even greater.

Someone mentionned teams ranked 5-8 to play in a shields with semis and final like in the 7's, i think that would be a good idea.

Scarlets clearly have their detiny in their own hands with the run in and Munster and Glasgow having to come to PYS, win thoe 2 games and a LBP in Leinster and 2nd place is a realistic goal, all the othet teams are going to take points of each other and with Holley on board now I can see the Scarlets turning things back around.

Seen on another board, the HEC qualification changes could make this a really interesting run in to the season.

IF it does go to 6 from each league (min of 1 per nation) that would mean at the moment the HEC qualifiers would be Ulster, Glasgow, Leinster, Ospreys, Scarlets, and Treviso. So it could quite well not just be the play-off race but the last HEC slot race too.

Current agreement has another 18 months to run.

So it will make a difference to the run in next season at the earliest.

The 14/15 season would be the first one under any possible new agreement.

Good good, I was thinking it would suck to miss out on the play-offs and then miss out on the HEC too (well for Munster anyhow Whistle ).

yep. the 6th team could be vunerable as a scottish or in this case Italian team could have to come up if we end up having 6 teams from all 4 countries.

Not a bad start so far though, 2 wins from 2 since he officialy started and a very obvious difference in the gameplan. looks like PYS is turning into 2nd chance saloon for Osprey cast off's but with guys like R Kelly, G Owen and now S Holley I guess we can overlook the odd K Phillips. Wink

IF it does go to 6 from each league (min of 1 per nation) that would mean at the moment the HEC qualifiers would be Ulster, Glasgow, Leinster, Ospreys, Scarlets, and Treviso. So it could quite well not just be the play-off race but the last HEC slot race too.
SS on what board did you see this?

Meanest defence in the league for a couple of years now.

That's only because they 'live offside' according to the Irish.

Well they do given half a chance. So do we, if we get some galoot of a ref who wouldn't know an offside line if it bit his arse. In fact I would go so far as to say that in a game where the referee does not adequately referee the offside line, 99% of teams employing a blitz defence will go early to apply additional pressure and close down the attack. One of the reasons why the offside rule is one of the most important for referees to get right.

Why take it personally? Rugby team in taking advantage of referee blind spot shocker. Maybe people are just pointing it out because it was true Smile

Scarlets vs Munster tomorrow and Glasgow vs Ulster next week are huge games now. Bit of a blow for the Ospreys not picking anything up in Galway as well.

Dodge to be fair Connacht are always a tough team to beat out there, especially this time of year. But regardless of tonights result that will see the Os dropping outside of the top four. Which will really spice up the race.

Spot on Scarlet, the Ospreys blowing it after a good win against Ulster last week and the Scarlets finally winning against Munster has really spiced it up as you stated. It is difficult for teams losing so many players to call ups playing against teams that are at full or close to full strength.

Munster not looking too hot. 4th spot is between Scarlets and Ospreys. Ospreys always seem to have a tough run in and make it anyway, but the Scarlets have it so handy if they can just keep it together.

Tight enough though so Munster not dead yet.

Not sure how it looked on tv but imo ROGs first two misses with the boot really put Munster under pressure. Not too sure if the Scarlets won the match or if it was Munster lossing the game, if that makes sence.

So right now, the three best attacking sides (Ulster and Glasgow have 43 tries each, Leinster have 44) are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Whereas the two best defensive sides (Ospreys on just 11 tries conceded, Munster on 17) have slipped out of the top four.

Plenty of time all of that to change. Wouldn't go making any grand theories out of it or anything!
