A sad indictment of Welsh rugby when that shower are top Welsh side  Bit unfair. The table doesn't lie plus they're still in with a shout with Europe. I'll put it down to being a faithful one eyed scarlet tho. 😂 Totally one eyed but the capital club are a disgrace they have poor crowds, little private investment yet are in the richest part of Wales. Since the regions started they have produced a lot less internationals than we or the Ospreys but they will always be safe because they are the capital club.  Attendances are on average slightly better than us.

Moved above Edinburgh with that win, and so 2 points behind the O's and 6 behind Cardiff with 2 to play.

Glasgow blew away Munster yesterday and have their eyes ( and are looking good) on a Top 4 finish (home tie in the play offs). Something they will secure if they beat us.

I actually think we won't get any higher in the league, even though I think we will win v Drags, and will finish behind Cardiff and the O's, albeit by only a point or two.

I think the O's will win their last 2 games (Edinburgh away and Cardiff), and Cardiff will lose their last 2 (Connacht away and O's).
So the O's will win the Shield.

Feels dirty in my mouth.

Yes, I'm saying we won't beat Glasgow (Lofty is about to pwn me)....however if we did then the Welsh derbies will become a sort of showdown on who wins the shield - goes in to the Top tier of Europe...could be fun!

We have played 6 more league games since then, and come away with 26 points. Winning the Challenge cup and our last two games even by a point will do me for this season and especially the cup

Blackett is our best signing this season...with him all the team found balance in his game stile, both attack and defence...

Hopefully he can see that there's something building here, and that say in 2-3 seasons time he'll have made a significant addition to his cv. I think we'd all like him to stay. Unfortunately The Rugby Paper has mentioned him possibly going to Newcastle. Given his name has been mentioned with 2 different clubs, I'm assuming that he's looking elsewhere.

But when we win the Europe cup why would he want to leave!!!!😁👍

It’s a shame we’re running out of road as we’re really motoring now. Slipping to a draw to Ospreys and a defeat to Cardiff at home at the start of the season will probably prove costly. Despite our great win yesterday they both pulled an extra point away from us this weekend. It doesn’t seem right!
