The case in which we lose by 5 is peculiarly facinating and not unrealistic
Sarries are 3rd seed behind Munster only for a 2-point aggregate difference
And we would face them as 6th seed, ahead of Glasgow, with same number of points but also exact same aggregate difference, just resolved by more tries scored!

That's a real pity for all-Ireland QF chances, but TBF, on a pure rugby point of view, I don't think a trip to Vicrage road is worse than facing any of Munster/Leinster in the Aviva, this season...

Well a trip to Vicarage Road would be fine with me, but they haven't played there in 4 years!

I know but I hate those namings "Allianz, Aviva, Ricoch..."
I stop there, no politics I was told

I think you're confusing politics with geography!

You got my point, even if they moved into a new stadium, I'm reluctant to say the name "Allianz Park" and I don't know if there's another one

Done this fast, open to checking...
Connacht to lose by 8 --- out of it
Connacht to lose by 6 or by 7 points --- (away) QF against Munster!!!!
Connacht to win without BP, to draw or to lose by 1 to 5 points --- away QF against Sarries
Connacht to win with BP by less than 62 point-margin ---- (away) QF against Leinster!!!!
Connacht to win with BP by more than 62 point-margin ---- (home) QF against Leinster!!!
Just looked at this before I logged on and got the same result. Regardless of who we play getting to the QF is what we want!

Thanks for doing that out
If Connacht lose by 8+ but get a TBP (and Toulouse don't) - will it be Munster away?

Nope, the aviva is less of a 'home' venue than thomond. Besides, I'd prefer to face Leinster (barely!)
