[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 904632, member: 58362"] I guess that it's competitive throughout the season, thanks in part to a couple of Premiership games during international windows. However, when it came to crunch time, this season has been a poor reflection on the strength in depth, with the semi-finals showing that there are only two and a half teams (Saracens, Exeter and Wasps' backs) capable of competing. You could even argue that the way the final panned out showed that there's only one team capable of competing! This being the case, what would be the point in giving more teams a crack of the whip? Semi-final upsets were more commonplace, the argument would be stronger for me, but it would still be a stretch. [/QUOTE]
