The O's won't have AWJ the rest of the season also, they may not qualifyOuch


Thought he was due back for the last game of the season against us.

Maybe, 6 weeks if all goes well...depends on interim results, but I believe Brad  Davies is due back soon, another player the WRU is subsidizing

Treviso will not be the pushover the forum thought it would be. They will come to us full of renewed belief. Need to prepare as though we were going to play Sarries or Toulon and take nothing for granted.
Keep the faith

That's the kick up the bum they needed for the rest of the games. I really hope we can wim all our games now up to the Ospreys game, as that is going to be one heck of a game. Winner takes all maybe.
Be careful when you pick up the stick.........IT MAY BE THE WRONG END!!!!!!!!!!

Looking at the next rounds fixture, there's a good chance of us being within 1 point of the ospreys after the next game

It makes the rest of the Os run-in suddenly seem rather difficult- Blues in the Millenium, Leinster and Ulster at home and then us away. They've been patching up their front five all season and desperately need Bradley and a tight head to get fit. It's now possible that our game against them will be for fourth place.

Currently got us sneaking fourth ahead of Ulster, but a couple of wins more for Glasgow or Ulster could see them push ahead of us.

Imagine a scenario where we play Ospreys in the last game of the season to cement fourth place and them to finish top, and us then having to go to the Liberty the weekend after for the semi-final.

Last update:
Scarlets and Ulster Round 18


My best guess is alittle different, and I see the final four being:

Munster 85
Leinster 83
Scarlets 76
Ospreys 74
Ulster 71

If Glasgow catches fire, that will help us also.

See how I put a curse on the sprays  by  saying how ruthless they were and would never let a team off lightly in the second half as we did to Edinburgh.Wink

Don't be mean, besides the cost of rebuilding would put everyone's insurance premiums up by at least 50%

Sorry, it was a sitter

Anyway, we're in the mix and the top four all playing each other. Our games aren't easy but I know which run in I'd prefer.

Going to be tense, fraught and anxiety ridden .... bring it on!

Ymlaen Ysgarleds!

That Osprey loss to Treviso changes everything I think.  The table on page 1 has them down as winning three of the remaining 4 games but they are capable of losing 3 of the 4 if not all of them.  And before this weekend we needed them to beat Ulster, but now its not so clear.  Ospreys game against Leinster will be a key game for them - lose and they are in trouble.

As long as we stay on track to win our remaining games, and if Leinster beat Os then the fifth spot will more or less go to the loser of the Ospreys v Ulster game.

Well, if our coaching team and players had any complacency before about Treviso, that result has shown what happens when you've already won the game before it's started. 

I'm sure we won't take them lightly now. 

Just get the 4 points, bois bach...........

That performance from Treviso came at the perfect time for us IMO.

It will make the coaches and analysts sit up and take note of how they play, possibly in even more detail.

We should treat them in exactly the same way as we treated playing Sarries and Toulon at home - with the utmost respect.
Think, think, think - it's a thinking man's game!! - The Great Carwyn James.
