Can anyone decipher this? 

Conference A will feature the highest and lowest ranked Irish sides, along with the middle two Welsh teams, the Scottish and South African top dogs and the second Italian outfit  

Then Conference B will be made up of the best and worst performing sides from Wales, the second and third ranked Irish, the top Italian team and the second-placed Scots and South Africans.

I reckon the Scarlets can finish 5th in that conference (above Cheetahs and Zebre).

Cardiff absolutely smashed us twice this year and only managed fifth. So whilst you are clearly trolling, you have provided some food for thought. 

Who would have thunk we are looking at Cardiff and Connacht as our main rivals to get a 3rd place spot knowing we can't get anywhere near Glasgow and Leinster. 2 years ago we'd have fancied our chances at topping the conference.

On the face of it Leinster & Glasgow are light years ahead of us but gentlemen this is a funny old game. A year ago this month we were hammering this Glasgow side in a semi final; two years ago we were beating Leinster with 14 men for 40 minutes and even this poor season we have given Leinster the hurry up twice.

Lets all take a deep breath and get right behind Brad & his team.

Munster finished top of the Irish teams on league points so it'll be them not Leinster.

Also already done a thread on this:-

Yep spot on. Things can change very quickly. As you said a year ago we were among the best in Europe.
I still wake up late at night and think of what might have been when tim stimpson hit that jammy penalty1

Too true. Leinster last season appeared unbeatable as did Ireland. This season they have slipped - well beaten by Saracens & I think they will get beaten next Saturday by Glasgow. Clearly in Europe this season Saracens have taken Leinster's mantle. Can they maintain it. They will be hard hit by World Cup calls but seem to possess a good production line of quality carrying forwards and an endless supply of clever box kicking 9's. Added to that is a wonderful defensive system. The challenge for all teams is to reach and surpass Saracens.

In the pro 14 the stand out teams are Leinster, Glasgow, Munster & Benetton ( a huge well done to all concerned). Next season will be more competitive I feel with World Cup commitments levelling the playing field with teams like Connacht, Ulster & the Blues with less World Cup losses perhaps getting off to a flying start.
