[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1088928, member: 39190"] Quite an intriguing round. Apart from the dull fact that Leinster have the #1 spot sewn up. Top 5 teams can still end up in the 2nd spot. Home advantage having proved key this tournament. Its a pity for my Stormers that Leinster will probably field an understrength side vs Munster. My hope was that we can leapfrog both Munster and the Sharks (who have a tough away fixture with Ulster) into 2nd but it is more likely Munster will go full tilt against Leinster C. Bonus points and points differences will determine the play off fixtures. The most interesting setup though is the derby between the two Scottish sides both at 50 as the loser will be out of the European Championship despite ending higher than the top Welsh side. Then the question is which Welsh side will be the benefactor as they are both at 44 log points and are both facing SA sides hoping to end on a high and secure as high a log spot as possible and maybe a home QF. Scarlets have a 10 point lead ITO points differential. [/QUOTE]
