As the Blues prepare for their final game of the season against Munster on Saturday, i look at the Celtic League table, to see where we could stand.

All the sides have one fixture to come, except except the Scarlets who have a free weekend. This is what the table looks like going into the final week.

Pos	Team	P	W	D	L	FW	F	A	BP	Pts
1	Ulster	21	14	1	4	2	491	330	5	71
2	Leinster	21	13	0	6	2	514	419	9	69
3	Cardiff Blues	21	11	0	8	2	467	352	11	63
4	Munster	21	11	0	8	2	402	364	9	61
5	Edinburgh Gunners	21	11	0	8	2	410	384	8	60
6	Ospreys	21	11	0	8	2	364	390	2	54
7	Llanelli Scarlets	21	10	1	9	1	418	402	7	53
8	Dragons	21	7	0	12	2	350	413	9	45
9	Border Reivers	21	6	0	13	2	343	496	7	39
10	Glasgow Warriors	21	5	0	14	2	364	406	9	37
11	Connacht	21	5	0	14	2	292	459	4	32

So with 63 points, Cardiff have guarenteed themslves Heinken Cup rugby next season, top Welsh side - hense highest seeding in the groups hopefully getting an easier draw, at very least 5th spot. No matter what, we are going to beat our best ever Celtic League final standing of 6th in 2003

As for our aspirations, we are currently sitting as high as we can go. Leinster are 6 points away and are uncatchable. The title itself comes down to Ospreys v Ulster and Edinburgh v Leinster.

Realisticlally, we can stay 3rd with either a win or draw in Ireland. Technically, we could lose without conceding 4 tries, stay within 7 scoring 4 tries of our own, as our points difference is better then Munster, but lets be honest, thats not likely.

Even on the final day of games, there is plenty to sort out, but no matter what fans can take pride in doing the ultimate turn around this season, bottom to top in terms of Welsh stadnings, and some great performances to build on for next year.

Congratulations go out to Munster who this weekend became the new Heineken Cup Champions 3rd time of asking. Let's see if the Blues can spoil their celebrations on Saturday, with a great win to round of the season.
