I have a feeling that, with 2 last minute losses in their last two matches, Gloucester will be there for the taking by Newcastle who will be fighting for their (premiership) lives.
So we have to get, at least, a BP at either Quins or Bath.

Glaws really need a win now though if they want HC rugby, they are at home and hurt. We also saw yesterday how dangerous their backs are. Cant see them not scoring tries against Newcastle and therefore Newcastle will need to score one or two themselves. Yesterday our pack got on top of Glaws, so if Newcastle cant do the same I cant see them winning.

Esher's Ones are unfortunately not up to scratch - having just been basically relegated (not mathmatically certain yet but just prolonging the pain now) to ND1.

They've 4 from 4 so far in the relegation play-offs, having started as the 4th placed team anyway.

Having said that, when they do go down and have to slash their wage bill as RFU £££ drops for around £320k to about £20k - they could get stripped for parts.

We all know about Mackenzie.

But there are one or two others.

Peter Synott is an all-action 7/8 who also makes for an incredible goal-kicker. certainly safer than our current first choice! think he used to be on the books at Irish but is now full-time at esher.

I think that's also the case with sam Edgerley - if we can't hold on to Prydie, edgerley would be a useful addition.


as to BO - we have to go all-out and have a crack. A win would be icing on the cake but to put in an accomplished performance would help to keep momentum rolling towards quins.

I genuinely think we can take a BP off quins and 4 points off bath, while i don't see falcons winning either of theirs.

Glaws are considerably better at home than on the road
this season. I expect a Glaws win v Falcons.
Newcastle then have Sarries at home with the latter near full strength and after a top 2 finish for home advantage in the playoffs.Sarries to win here.

Chins I know Newcastle will have to play well and maybe score a try....one try was enough against Sale who put in three. Penalties is where Newcastle get their points from so probably why they are bottom....however, I cannot see anything other than a Glaws victory.

I guess the same issues worrying us over team selection etc., will be concerning the BO fans, as they still have Top14 survival issues.

BO are now in 10th on 42 pts after their win over Clermont this weekend. 5 Yachvili pens to two converted tries from Kingy's men. UBB on 41 and USAP on 40.

In the drop zone are Bayonne on 34 pts and Lyon OU on 30.

With 4 games left they look pretty safe to me with AB having to play BO at home on 14/4 - that will be a stonker of a local derby, Lyon away on 23/4, Agen home on 3/5 and finally away to Castres on 12/5.

And just looking at the match scheduling, Glaws/Falcons and Quins/Wasp KO at 3 pm on Sat 14.

The following week Falcons/Watford Boers is 19.45 on Fri evening, whilst Bath/Wasps is at 14.15 the following day.

No counting chickens, but the fat lady might just have sung by 16.00 that Saturday afternoon.
