Sure we've been doing that already

Ya think I'm hoping for an Ulster win in that one too. Hopefully with no bonus points for either side! Scarlets have Edinburgh and Ospreys away also in 3 of their next 4 games so hopefully we can push out our advantage over them heading into the final few weeks.

It's an Ulster win for me.
Realistically I don't see us finishing ahead of Ulster so happy to see them push on and keep our real rivals in check.

It happened once between Ospreys and Glasgow Would be happy with an Ulster win, Scarlets may collapse, much harder fixtures

Hoping for a draw tomorrow between Ulster and Scarlets with neither getting 4 tries

Good results all round I reckon (apart from the couple of bonus points in Kilmarnock).
Whatever slim hopes Dragons had are now gone with that defeat.
Glasgow will now almost certainly get ahead of Edinburgh leaving Ospreys and Edinburgh as our main qualification rivals, and we can go 11 or 12 points ahead of both tomorrow with games against the two of them to come.
And no harm to keep Munster the same margin behind as we may need to keep ahead of them for Europe and definitely will if top 4 ends up being on the cards.
We possibly should be shouting for Leinster tomorrow to try and kill off Cardiff, but I don't think any of us will be doing that

Edit: Bookies giving Edinburgh no chance now, 200-1. Not sure why they're so far behind Ospreys at 22-1. Their next 4 are winnable. I'm probably missing something obvious ...

Just 3, 2 for Kilcoyne, 1 for Sherry, 3 conversions from Keatley and a penalty to make up the 24.

Munster's run in does look relatively favourable. Next 4 games are very winnable which would put a very different slant on the table but they are definitely narrowing their room for error with these last two defeats.

How Cardiff react to their defeat in Treviso could be crucial, probably too much work to do to make Top 6 and out of Europe but have made progress this year so will want to finish the season strong. Have the other 3 provinces upcoming at home.

Munster have an easy enough run of games however just looking at the table again if they slip up then it's possible they will arrive at the sportsground and not be able to make Top4, that game could be a playoff to see who gets a semi-final, anyway i'm gettin way ahead of myself.

Munster seem to Huff and Puff and still score easily through the forwards when they get inside the 22 however they cough up easy points and lose control of their games in the second half

Only 1 point for Munster clanman, got only 3 tries.

Glasgow beat Munster 27-24 securing a bonus point. Probably should have gone for a scrum at the end with their domination of the scrum to deny Munster anything but that 5 points hauls them right back into contention with 2 games still in hand after this round is completed.

Glasgow win with a TB point, munster pick up 2 points, it's getting very congested at the top

Ospreys have definitely improved and makes their visit very difficult for us

In the end Ospreys win 27-13. Hard to know if that's a good or bad result but there was no bonus point for either team so happy enough. Ospreys poor in the first half. Very lucky to go in level but picked it up in the 2nd half and pulled clear. Edinburgh seemed to run out of ideas and Ospreys replacements gave them a bit of impetus.

There'll be nothing easy but both those upcoming games are winnable.

Correct result in the end, no BP for either team, and confirmed what I thought since December : Embra wasn't going to be the most dangerous team, Ospreys and Glasgow was my opponents. Could be Munster and scarlets too though; Tomorrow is vital, next week also ; nothing is taken for granted but we have to focus, after those two, we won't be the favorite team anymore till the end. My opinion
