[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1089664, member: 59968"] The more I look at this, the more I see some potential for a fairly dramatic final day. The points difference between Saracens and Tigers is only 3. I fully expect Saracens to get the full 5 points vs. Gloucester which would mean Tigers have to win to stay in 1st. Tigers didn't look particularly great vs. Falcons and Wasps have something to play for. I don't expect them to beat Tigers, but they're certainly capable of doing it and have already done so this season. Dolly's injury could be costly if Montoya is not fit. Clare, TCD and Vanes are OK, but definitely not at the level of Montoya or Dolly. If Wasps were to win and Tigers don't get a losing BP and a try BP, Saracens could leapfrog them in to 1st. I guess 1st or 2nd doesn't make that much difference, but the psychological aspect of going in to the play-offs topping the table with a 100% home record, would be a bit different to [i]almost[/i] doing that and falling at the final hurdle.
