With so many teams on 10 & 11 games where they were in with a shout of winning the game so why the table is so congested.  Connacht seem to not just be getting better but just not able to get wins like Leinster.  Glasgow and Munster are ahead  just by getting a few tight games from losses to wins. Kings are improving.

Interesting stats
Zebre have got a TBP every time they won
Kings sit 6th on the TBP list while dragons have failed to pick up any

Heading into the last 5 games picking up points will be key while denying opposition any could be the difference between 5th and 2nd.
Also even though the teams are the same Conference A is stronger this year.

Leinster show that winning lots of games doesn't reduce BPs. They have picked up 9 TBPs in their 12 wins.
Ulster have a poor LBP record of 1 which is a reflection of them send second string teams.  The other problem is they aren't picking up enough TBPs either.  As a result they need an extra win to get parity with the other teams.
Kings have 1 less win than Zebre and two less than Dragons but because of their massive BPs are level with them.  Do they show that for the lower teams running from everywhere is better than try defend and play 10 man rugby.
