looking forward to watching the Falcons v Tigers match on BT,
that is assuming they show it, it's not often Leicester on TV
for the wrong reasons.

Well, theoretically we're still not clear of relegation! we're
only 20 points ahead of the Falcons, with 5 rounds to go (25
points on offer...).
Realistically, I'd say that anyone from Bath down is at risk.
What's different this season that with 5 rounds to go, the
*bottom* club has already got 6 wins. If you look back through
the history of the Premiership, there's only been 3 teams
relegated having won 6 games in a season (Us, Saints twice, and
Falcons most recently as 2012, with Leeds avoiding the drop in
'02 because Rotherham's stadium wasn't up to standard), and only
once has a team that's won 7 games gone down (Bristol in '03).
This season there's been a big "levelling" of the teams from 3rd
down to 12th, where any team can win on their day. Look at the
table as it stands:

Based on performances this season, could you really make a case
where Tigers are *that* much better than Worcester or Falcons,
particularly since the start of the year? We've been fortunate
that Gussy's impact has led to a good uptick in getting bonus
points, not just by scoring tries but also by getting the
important LBP as well. If either Falcons or Warriors had been
picking up a few LBPs earlier in the season, you'd see Tigers
really bricking it in either 11th or 12th at the moment...

There's a chance Tigers could be bottom in a round or two!
Had a chat with a Tigers fan at Welford Road some seasons ago
who was boasting about the size of the crowd they get.
When I asked him what sort of crowd they'd get if they stopped
winning trophies he replied "that would never happen".

There is some real quality in the teams that are towards the
bottom of the table. The warriors back line is good. Bristol
also have some talent. The bottom of the table teams are
actually quite good this season

both survived a year in the Championship and looking back except
for the redundancies the supporters quite enjoyed going to new
grounds.but it can happen to anyone

No whipping boy this year and how different it all looks. With
the money Bristol spent it seemed unlikely that they'd fall
through the trap door though its still possible.
I think Leicester will get out of it. I know they look listless
but there's definitely a performance in there (hopefully not on
May 3rd). I'd like Newcastle to stay up, and no real feelings
for Worcester to be honest. Whoever goes down will walk the
Championship anyway.

Is anyone across this ring fencing idea? As in is it still an
idea or is it going to happen, we just don't know when?
