I had a quick go at predicting the results of the remaining fixtures (with some green tinted glasses on). Pretty happy with the end result. Although maybe finishing second with a home semi against scarlets would be preferable?!

EDIT: Thanks to eezipc for fixing my malformed tables....

And Glasgow wrap up the bonus point with 25 minutes left. 14-28.

Glasgow in under the posts. You'd expect them to kick on now.

Zebre are well worth the lead. Should be further ahead really. Glasgow barely got out of their half for the last 20 minutes. It's bizarre.

Eh...Zebre 7-0 up against Glasgow after five minutes.

Ben Whitehouse for the Munster game it seems.

Not at all, I feel safe because Cardiff can't catch us and edinburgh will never ever get more than 11 points with their schedule

There is also the fact that Munster have to play Edinburgh, so if Edinburgh manage to get ahead of us, it'll probably be at Munster's expense. For them both to get ahead of Connacht would nearly require a draw, or else the loser to pick up almost all of the bonus points available.

I may be reading it wrong but it's not certain yet, or is it? .
Edinburgh are the ones to watch now. They are in 7th place and 11 points behind Connacht with 15 points available.
Edinburgh have to play in Dublin & Cork also so it will take a miracle for them to get the 15 points though.

Also, it could be take a long time for London Irish to get back to the Premiership. Very sad about that as I used to go to quite a few games when I lived in London.

Just a quick note on this - if we get 9 points from Munster and Treviso, and Glasgow lose to Scarlets, even with a bonus point, then Glasgow would have nothing to play for against us as even a tbp win for them would see them lose out to us on games won.

I'm hoping for -
Connacht 77
Leinster 76
Glasgow 67
Scarlets 66

Only questing is, will we be playing in Galway or Glasgow.

Exactly what i said on another forum. It's highly likely we will play either Glasgow or Leinster. Tough anyway, but we don't fear anyone now
