Re: Run-in calculator
lol. My admittedly biased predictions ended with Sarries, Bristol, and Glos all on 53 points, flanked by Quins on 54 and Leicester on 52...
I think it is going to be tight.

Re: Run-in calculator
My predictions finished with Bath romping away with it and 79 points. Bristol, Glaws and Tigers rounding out the top 4, Sale 5th. Sorry Stom, Quins 6th on 48pts. Admittedly I spent a minute doing it so most will be wrong. Can't see Bath being caught. Quins look up and down at the minute, somewhat fragile and lacking leadership but with the attack to always score a try. Tigers look half toothless, Saracens have a hard edge but it's a blunt one. Sale are physical but desperately reliant on Ford staying fit. Glaws see Quins but with leadership. Same for Bristol actually. Bath are the most put together side and I can't see them being caught.

Re: Run-in calculator
From a Quins POV, this run in has just become a lot more important.
Yesterday was an outright embarrassment. Yes, Leinster are a class apart, but the margin should never have been that big given the side we put out.
We have Sale at home next which is a fixture we usually win. However, after such a big defeat, we either see a positive reaction and play to our potential across the next month or … the wheels come off entirely.
I hope it’s the former, but I could easily see it being the latter. Something is not right and Wilson is not the Head Coach we need.

Re: Run-in calculator
lol. Well, I think that's the point, somewhat... 1st, 9th and 10th are all sewed up, but the rest...there can be a hell of a lot of movement there, and I think if we ran it 10 times, we'd get 10 different answers.FKAS wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 6:58 pm My predictions finished with Bath romping away with it and 79 points.

Which is great for the league. But maybe not so good for Europe...

Re: Run-in calculator
Bath will stroll it.
Thereafter it gets interesting. The top 5 have to play one another and they'll all be taking points from one another. Bath, for instance, have to play Bristol, Leicester and Saracens, while Sale play the same 3 opponents. Which might leave the door open for Gloucester who have 4 games against teams below them in the league.
