[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1126140, member: 72977"] Looking at it now. 2nd: Sale need 2 points to secure top 4 and 7 points for top 2. They have Bristol(a), Gloucester (a) and Newcastle (h). They should definitely beat Newcastle and I can see them getting a result against Bristol or Gloucester so should get 2nd, especially as I can see Tigers dropping points. 3rd: Tigers need 6 points currently to secure top 4 and if Sale slip up they have a sniff at top 2. They have Exeter(h) and Harlequins(h). Tigers are finishing the season strongly and should win both games, though I don't see a bonus point against Exeter. 4th: LIrish need 8 points for top 4 and depending on if Exeter get a win they need to match Northampton and Exeter to get it. They've got Sarries(a) who are already likely to finish top, especially if they beat Saints next and then Exeter(h). While Sarries aren't easy, they will likely be weaker. I can see them beating Exeter and possibly Sarries, especially as they don't have any European games. 5th: Saints need 4 points minimum and probably maximum points and someone else to slip up. They have Sarries(h) and then Newcastle (a). I think they'll lose to Sarries and end their chances of top 4. If Sarries win they're guaranteed top spot and so will want to give themselves breathing room to rest players. 6th: Exeter have a game in hand, but need 9 points minimum and lots of results to go their way. They have Tigers(a), Bristol(h) and Gloucester(h) as well as a European game. I think after losing to Bath it's too much. Can't see them winning at Tigers and then they need to win both games and hope no one else wins. 7th: Bristol also have a game in hand and a European game. They need 11 points and others to slip up. They have Sale(h), Exeter(a) and Gloucester(h). All 3 against clubs also hunting top 4. If they beat Sale they have a chance, but I don't see it happening. 8th: Harlequins also have a game in hand and a European game. They also need 11 points and others to slip up. They have Newcastle(h), Bath(h) and Tigers away. Tbh they have the easiest run in and could well pick up 10 points in the next two games. Could easily be a winner takes all against Tigers at the end. In the current standings the team I think most likely to pip Leicester or Irish. 9th: Will it be Gloucester's year? No. They also have 3 games left and a European fixture, but need 12 points minimum with others messing up and it's too much work. They have Bath(h), Sale(h) and Bristol(a). I can't see them beating both Sale and Bristol. I reckon the final table will be: 1) Saracens 2) Sale 3) Tigers 4) Quins 5) Irish 6) Saints 7) Bristol 8) Exeter 9) Gloucester 10) Bath 11) Newcastle [/QUOTE]
