I am focused on whether we can attain, retain, and then improve on 9th. So, what do we need to do next weekend? Obviously, we are not playing, so how do we get from our current 10th to 9th?
I am assuming Chiefs will give Quins nothing tomorrow at Sandy Park. Indeed, if the margin is more than 19 points, we would move to 9th anyway, for the week.
Next weekend.
Worcester need to get nothing out of Gloucester at Kingsholm. I can see that happening.
Bath must not get a bonus point win away at Brentford. I can see that happening.
Quins play Saints at the Stoop. One of them needs to win, by a reasonable margin. I can see Quins doing that.
All of which would push Saints below us but Quins would go above us.
I suppose Falcons could win with a record breaking margin at home against Bristol. I think not.
Leaving us still at 9th for a second week. A fair reflection of our season so far, I think. By then, the financial stuff should have either been sorted, or hit the fan.
