    (Leinster fan) - Great game last night in Belfast. great to see Ulster win this important game against Benneton and great tv coverage both on BBCNI & TG4. Wonderfull support for home provinces. In the Premiership, great to see Bath in 2nd place and of course Northampton at the top. Got my tickets for Croke Park next week!!!!

    7 teams in Top 14, 8 teams in URC, 4 teams in The Premiership. This makes 19 teams qualify for the Championship. And a single team from Challengers Cup. 20 teams looks good, much much easier for the group stages in next year’s Champions Cup.
    This is very very interesting, there is jeopardy everywhere, which I like, no dead rubbers as yet.

    Quins Vs Saints will be a crazy game tomorrow, think Quins will edge it but the score could be literally anything

    • @AlfredTheGreatestEver
      @AlfredTheGreatestEver Місяць тому +2

      I think quins have 2 advantages. 1 they are "at home" (although it's Twickenham, not the stoop).
      And 2, they need it more.
      However in saints is favour, because quins needed it more, they've put their strongest team out for the 3rd game in a row. Saints have been able to rotate, meaning they will face a fresh courtney Lawes, Ludlam, Fin Smith, ollie Slightholme and tommy Freeman.
      There's still rotation in the side for saints, Lockett and Litchfield wouldn't start at full strength but aside from that, it's very strong.
      At a neutral venue (which Twickenham sort of is) I back that northampton side over that fatigued quins side.
      Where saints are, the attitude is "win every game". Play offs aren't nailed down and home advantage is massive.
      Northampton by 3.

    • @GoldenGoalposts
      @GoldenGoalposts Місяць тому +2

      @@AlfredTheGreatestEver I don’t disagree with anything you’ve mentioned there, I think out of all those points u made fatigue for Quins will probably be the biggest factor. One thing I’ll say is that with the exception of Launchbury this would probably be Quins starting XV so on there day I’d fancy them to go at least toe to toe with any English side

    • @AlfredTheGreatestEver
      @AlfredTheGreatestEver Місяць тому +2

      @@GoldenGoalposts totally agree about the strength of this quins side and I don't think the gap between Launchbury and Herbst is that big.
      I think it's the best 2 teams in the league at the moment.
      The game will be decided between half time and minute 60.
      Saints have blown away sides in the second half of games (basically every game since saracens). That's when the fatigue will be heaviest for quins, with almost no changes for 4 games on the trot.
      It's a coincidence toss but for me the needle tips towards northampton, the squad is too good and the form is ridiculously good.
      Also, bare with my complete hubris for a moment, it feels like the ball is bouncing exactly how saints want it to.
      Munster having so many injury issues, the Bulls throwing in the towel, leinster having to spend 2 weeks in SA before the semi final, and quins having to push for every game leading to fatigue. It feels like the positive feedback loop of "good things are happening" looking like destiny, is happening for Saints. What I just said could be total bollocks BTW, but it's what it feels like.

    Quins vs Saints looks to be a brilliant match based on the teams, hard to believe these are 'rotated' teams, both not bringing their cup final team, yet putting out some absolute quality. Quins front 5 could dominate this given the weather, Saints probably need a Thomand Park-like performance to get the W.

  • @DrivingSA-ot8ds
    @DrivingSA-ot8ds Місяць тому +1

    Lions have a tough run in, however they have 11 BPs from 14 matches and if they can pick up another three Bps it would almost make up for one loss. That said, they have been a bit up and down. I'm hoping for them to sneak into the top eight

    • @peadarr
      @peadarr Місяць тому

      Unfortunately for the Lions, if two teams are on equal points, it goes to number of matches won before points difference, so they need to be a point ahead of most of the other teams going for the spots

      No offense to zebre but having them twice is pretty much 10 points in the bag (youd bloody like to hope) Bulls are the only game that im worried about but still think we are better than them, just the fact its in SA. This is why being top 2 is so crucial in the urc. The last thing any team wants (except south africans) is a quarter/semi final in SA
