I would say all games are winnable, Leinster away obv being the most difficult one, we showed some massive signs of improvement on the weekend against Saints, if we can play like this for the rest of the season we will trouble a few teams.

Alot will depend on team availbility and injuries but there should be no pressure on us anymore as nobody expects us to go and push for top 8, so just go out and play like we did on Sunday.

At a minimum i would like us to go and win atleast our 5 remaining home games, im sick of teams coming to PYS and getting BP wins , i want us to fight and make PYS a fortress

Totally agree on the PYS being a fortress again.

It starts Saturday. 






Ulster will prove a good test. Murphy has improved them a lot in his less than 12 months in charge. For my money a point from that game would be decent. Consistent winning rugby is still a way away for us with our poor discipline & wafer thin resources in the front 5. 

Have to win this Gareth.....we have to start winning.



With you on that one Lofty - I'll be screaming from the stands. Put it this with Nigel bringing some much needed clarity to selection we have a  much better chance than I would have given 2 weeks ago. 



Being spoilt with hospitality by a regular contributor and gentleman on here for Saturday, shift work ruins attendance so really looking forward to it , we can take Ulster they are playing well , but we need to play exceedingly well and its another challenge for us, but with a slight ease of worrying about this 3 side monstrosity, perhaps we can concentrate on blitzing visiting sides.


I expect too lose my voice , and I expect to win...

Small world Lofty we may be sharing a table.Wink

Ok bloody wonderful. 


In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"

I think that we will need to lower our expectations somewhat, we have 9 players called up to the 6 nations squa, plus possibly Hepburn.  We have 2 decent performances on the bounce (in Europe) and all of a sudden our players are international class again.

So much depends on the availability of our front and second rows If the rest play as on Sunday we have a chance.
