[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1084834, member: 59968"] It’s definitely possible we miss out. However, I expect today’s game to be high scoring and close so I think we’ll either come out of it with 5pts or 2pts (try BP and losing BP). If we get 5 today, I think it gives us the buffer we need. If we don’t other games become more significant. There are a few other factors to take in to consideration though: [LIST] [*]We have a game in hand. Admittedly, that’s only really useful if we get points from it, but we’re in a position where others need to catch us. We can just about afford a loss, he chasing pack can’t. [*]Smith, Marchant, Marler and Dombrandt should make a big difference. We also have Evans close to a comeback. [*]Firm, dry surfaces suit us a lot better. Better playing conditions should allow us to play more running rugby. [*]Tigers are pretty much guaranteed a top 2 place so it may be that they start resting players for away games. We may benefit from that. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
