[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1004158, member: 73592"] My recollection of the time-lines: Saints v Gloucester was cancelled before teams were due to be announced (I don't remember if they did or not anyway). ETA, [URL='https://www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk/news/gloucester-rugby-name-side-for-season-finale-with-northampton-saints-32421']yes, they did[/URL]. Official announcement re: Sale v Worcs being postponed was around the time teams were supposed to be announced. Either way, that's not even remotely the point - we were told that Sale could put out a team, but no evidence was provided - which would have been nice. Quite honestly IMO, given that both teams were supposedly able to put teams on the pitch, the match should have been played on Sunday - but it hasn't, and the rest of my comment stands. Ultimately, 10 teams said "we can put a team out, here they are" 1 team said "we can't put a team out, and therefore forfeit" 1 team said "we can put a team out, but we're not going to - see ya in 3 day" Also ultimately, Bath drew against Saracens - and "by rights" that means they shouldn't qualify. Worcester on the other hand, had control of their destiny; fate, rather than rugby, took it out of their hands. [/QUOTE]
