Does this mean Wasps are guaranteed a European Cup place next season?

No with Irish getting 2 points if we fail to get a LBP I believe as it stands Irish overtake us. Both Newcastle at Quins and Bath playing Saints can still overtake us if we lose.

We currently have 48 points. Irish are on 46, so with 2 points they draw level with us. The next factor in order is number of wins isn't it? We have 9, they have 6.

Yes OK other factors - never sure which takes precedence games won, points difference or number of dogs owned.

But Falcons can still overtake us.
