Do Wasps qualify for next season's HC if....
French teams win this season's HC and Amlin.
The Amlin winners automatically qualify for the HC.
If Clermont or Toulon win the HC, then France are limited to seven clubs in the HC.
The last HC slot then goes to the highest team in the ERC rankings who have not already qualified. That is currently (and will be) Wasps by my reckoning.
The ranking points for this season have not been added to the ranking table, but Bath are two points behind Wasps and both will get the same ranking points from this season - topped their Amlin Pool but were both knocked out in the quarters.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not clutching at straws because Wasps don't deserve to qualify for the HC based on our form in the last two months. But the rules are the rules.
Am I right, given the above scenario?

Yes, you are correct. Clearly, Dai Young will be hoping that the French double doesn't transpire.

I missed that one, but cheers.
Dai Young doesn't believe we are ready for the HC.

Clearly Connacht ought to get the slot
Eurotable says both Irish and Sale are better qualified.
But as you say, dem rules is de rules.

So he said after Sunday's game, but he did seem a bit down then. In the clear light of day, I'm sure he'd relish the HC.

Perhaps we could invite Zebre ...

If Munster win the HEC and Leinster win the Amlin the Connacht and Wasps make it in too.

Jersey's s'posed to be nice, as is Penzance. Not so sure about Rotherham or Billesley Common - I've even heard malicious rumours that Ealing has its attractions.
What are the chances of resurrecting an English Cup competition?

Don't worry Dubbleyew; Penzance, Bris (loved the away trips to Bris*) + others may be on the cards with Ealing depending on Wasps fixtures.
In the Amlin, Mogliano was fantastic this season. What a welcoming club.
* I'm sure you enjoyed your last trip to Bris. I know As did!!

Nope Spidey. Biarritz and Connacht in that case.ScarletSpiderman wrote:If Munster win the HEC and Leinster win the Amlin the Connacht and Wasps make it in too.
Doubleyou has it fairly succinctly on the other thread.
Biarritz have 2 ways (Hopefully one after the 16:30 on Saturday)
I am predicting Leinster and Clermont for the cups which will bring in Perpignan and Connacht. Only other spot up for grabs is Bath or Exeter which should be Exeter. But I could be wrong on all 3
