So, some things are clear - Dax and Massy are relegated and Pau certain of the joys of promotion and the hard work that has to begin now to remain in the most elite league in the world. But who will join them in this hard earned honour and to face an even harder job to avoid relegation from the Top 14 next year?
Well, the contenders for the four play off positions are:
2nd Place - (home semi to face 5th placed team) - Mont de Marsan with 82 points away to Beziers. MDM away record 3 wins out of 14
3rd Place - (home semi to face 4th placed team) - Agen 80 points home to Perpignan record 14 home wins out of 14
4th placed - Perpignan with 78 points away to Agen record 2 away wins out of 14
5th placed - Albi with 76 points home to Pau record 11 home wins out of 14
6th placed- Biarritz with 76 points away to Dax record 3 wins away out of 14
7th Placed - Aurillac with 72 points home to Bourgoin record 10 home wins out of 14
So there we are, on the basis that the matches go to form, the order will be Agen, MDM, Albi and Perpignan!! However, will form count for anything when the chips are down? Certainly the teams in places 2-5 have it in their own grasp to hold those places (although not necessarily that order) and the reality is that they probably will.
Predictions - Head = form will out and it will be as above. Heart = Agen, Mdm, Albi and Biarritz - where USAP have to lose (as expected) but who will have to win against Dax (with a bonus point) to beat Albi if Albi were to win as they probably will when Pau turn up with their third team!!!!
All matches Kick off at 15.05 on Sunday, 10th May 2015
