We have a chance for HC rugby.

Not sure we deserve it, but Irish’s unexpected loss to Bath gives us a slight chance for HC rugby next season. All we have to do is get a win at Tigers!  :o

Or a high scoring (4 tries for us) draw!

Well we have a shot at it. A point last night would have made a difference.

Totally but we blew it. Last night was the match to get the necessary points not against the Cheetahs at home.

I think the Irish was the one. It would have been all done by now.

2 weeks to work on tactics, which doesn’t seem to have been the case too much this season.

I really hope Fifita will be available. I don’t want to see a centre partnership of Gopperth and Fekitoa

I am trying to think of the name of that saloon we passed yesterday? Anybody?

Was it called 'The Last Chance ...'?

Its a chance, and probably one that we do not deserve. I doubt anyone will give us a chance against Tigers, and quite rightly as well.

BUT

Our team has a lot to prove to not only us, but more importantly to themselves. For those remaining and coming next season, and to those leaving come seasons end, a victory against the odds and qualification for the HC would be something to be cherished!

I'm not optimistic about it


However, I wasn't optimistic at all about being Tigers in the '07 HEC final... And in fact I nearly threw the tickets away when my wife bought them for my birthday.


In 2007 a number of surprises were sprung, I'm not sure what it would take to replicate that, but a part of me will always believe it's possible

That is probably the most accurate statement you can make about sport, and also why it keeps bringing us back week after week!

Your suggesting we have tactics?
