       Until it is a mathematical fact, my poultry will remain

       Whilst this would be my dream final, I’m supposed to be in
       Edinburgh for the Lions game 😭
       Personally can’t see neither Bristol nor Exeter making the final
       but anything is possible.

       Is it realistic to suggest sale could lose last 3 games if they
       have Ex, Bris and us that would change the confidence levels at
       Sale or if sale win against Ex and Bris and we best them we
       could yet have a home semi. Or am I dreaming, let's see what
       happens at LI tonight

       Top 4 isn’t totally assured, but one more win, or even a couple
       of points should clinch it. Looking at our recent form and who
       we have left to play, I think we can certainly be hopeful of
       wins against Bath and Newcastle. Sale will undoubtedly be more
       difficult given we tend to struggle against the more physical
       sides.
       If we do make it, it’s knock out rugby and all bets are off.
       Even without Brown, Evans and Andre, we have the ability to be
       dangerous. If we can maintain our run of form, no-one will be
       taking us for granted and we just need to go for it.

       I wouldn't want us to rest too many players in the final games,
       even if we have secured top 4. We have a week off now. The
       pressure on the remaining games is reduced due to last night's
       result so hopefully the players will get a few days off from
       training.
       Momentum is key - we don't want to fall over the line into
       playoffs or qualify due to our challengers falling away - we
       should aim to qualify by winning at least 2/3 of our remaining
       games and then go into the play offs on a winning run, if
       possible.
       Next three games are a good chance to get back to the form of a
       few weeks ago, before our run of 3 games where we've been second
       best most of the time

       Apart from form there is the apparent randomness of the
       allocation of yellow and red cards at the moment which will
       likely have a bearing on the remaining fixtures results.

       I'd be tempted to pick our strongest team for the 2 home games
       and rest a few key players for Sale away. I think that's the
       least winnable game of the 3 and no point in showing our
       strongest hand and risk injury to key players against a very
       physical Sale side.
