It’s a sing of how close the conference is that we could easily finish second if we get a bit of form, while if we don’t we could just as easily finish 5th. I don’t however believe that we need to win this Friday - if we play well and regain a bit of much needed confidence I believe we could still finish in the top 3 of our confidence without securing any points against Leinster.

Connacht and Benetton home

Munster and Edinburgh away

I can only see 12pts max there.

This season's Champions Cup was due to be 6 from each league. They may abandon that idea again next season to protect tv monies and sponsorship. Let's hope so!

Based on recent displays , we do not.  I have rarely seen a Llanelli based team play with less attacking nous and variation, which would seem to reflect badly both on coaching and on field captaincy

Couldn't agree more,we have scraped past the 2 italian sides at home by 1 point and 7 points,but for a forward pass the ospreys would have won and we have been comfortably doubled by the blues,not the kind of displays that warrant a place in top competetion.

Pardon me for pointing this out RR but with all due respect I do not find any solace in your above prediction. I seem to remember after we had beaten the Dragons and Blues lost to the Ospreys a prediction from you that they were rubbish and we would probably get a bonus point win no problem. Confused

Does it matter who's in the 23 if they're being coached to play like they have been?!

Think, think, think - it's a thinking man's game!! - The Great Carwyn James.

I think we still would have beaten the Ospreys is that try was disallowed. We finished far stronger than and they were out on their feet in the final 10 minutes. 
I still wake up late at night and think of what might have been when tim stimpson hit that jammy penalty1

How do we get Stef to understand the point. Our squad should not be being compared to an Ospreys team who are in the early days of rebuilding. We should be at the top table competing with the only 3 decent teams in the pro 12 - Leinster, Munster & Ulster. The fact that we are currently struggling to be in the top 6 best teams in the pro 12 is nothing short of an embarrassment but hey ho we beat the Ospreys by a few points and they were blowing hard at the end!!!!!

I do get the point. I’m confident we’ll be in a place to compete in Europe next season
