An update on the Chiefs run in to the end of the league

The Run In... Updated
Here's how the table stands with just 5 league games to go and Chiefs opponents are highlighted. Potentially 4 out of the 5 will still be hoping to make at least the top six by season end and some may even be vying for a play off place!

First up it's Bath away next Friday evening (23/03) In some way the postponment of the Anglo Welsh Final will work in Bath's favour because they were likely to field many of their Prem side given the current injury situation. This would have only given them a 5 day turnaround had the Final gone ahead. Whereas Chiefs strength in depth allowed for many of the Prem side to have a 'normal' lead up to the fixture. The Rec is never an easy place to get a win and Chiefs don't have a particularly good record there. A lot will depend on whether the Chiefs are back on form and which Bath side turns up on the night ( their form has been pretty inconsistent). If the Chiefs are anywhere near their early season form I can only see a Chiefs victory. Even a narrow win will do and push Chiefs closer to a guaranteed top 4 and potential home semi. However Bath will be really pushing for points to ensure a top 6 or top 4 place so it's not going to be easy!
Chiefs come away with a victory and pick up 4 points
The second game is at home to Glaws (08/04) and we all know how closely fought ouir games v the Cherry and Whites normally are. Glaws really seem to have turned a corner this season and have put in some mightily effective performances. Their Achilles heal appears to be their defence having conceded more points than they've scored and 123 more than the Chiefs have so far this season. This I think will be the diffenece between the sides and with what is likely to be sold out Sandy Park behind them I'm backing Chiefs to win with a TBP in a high scoring game.
Well I was correct with the TBP but I thought Glaws were going to get closer than they did. However the Chiefs. The win guarantees Chiefs a semifinal place and they need just 2 more points to ensure this is at home.
Here's how the table stands with 3 league games to go and Chiefs opponents are highlighted.
Couldn't care less as I have my tickets for the final and I believe we'll beat any of them. However after missing it last season, compliments of the RAC failing to attend for four hours, I will be travelling by train and have booked a nice and early one just in case.
I agree with the semi finals prediction (albeit Wasps instead of Newcastle but it would be nice to see Newcastle there) and the final.......... Ex vs Sarries.
Will be a fun day either way and may the best team win !!!! I am hoping for sarries (if we get to the final) but think it will be a hard close game
