Run in and play-offs
DIR By: Bolly-Quin

Disregarding cup games, the run in looks like this:-
London Irish (A)
Leicester Ts (H)
Northampton (A)
Gloucester (H)
Exeter Chiefs (A)
Win all those and we might finish 2nd; lose more than 2 and we
might not be in the top 4.
But with results swinging one way and the other, other teams
from 3-7 will also lose a few.
Irish have the easiest run-in (except Quins of course), Glaws
(have two local derbies) and Sale (still to play Sarries)
roughly the same as ours and Exeter the worst (have to play
Sarries and Tigers).
Imperative that we beat Glaws and Saints and (hopefully) Irish
possibly Exeter and perhaps a draw against Tigers; I will say
that we could win them all, but we could also lose a fair few
unless defence is tightened up or we guarantee we score heaps of
tries.
As has been mentioned, perhaps we should rescue Brown for the
rest of this season (as an injury replacement) and next (?), as
Green looks like he might miss quite a few games...

I think we're well positioned to make the playoffs. We might
have a tougher run in then some on paper but we've points in the
bank over the chasing pack, the spring weather suits our
attacking game and I'd argue our returning internationals are
more influential than our rivals.
If Tyrone's out, Nick David would be my pick for the 15 shirt.

Yeah points in the bag and returning players should see us
through, without taking anything for granted.

10 more points total gets us to 73, which I think probably gets
us in, looking at where the other teams are. Should we manage
that, we make it in 9/10 times. The magic number is probably 75,
but I think 73 might be enough.
If we manage 73-75 points, Irish and Gloucester (the most
realistic challengers to send us down to 5th) would need to win
4/5 and 4/6 respectively, and we play both. In essence, should
we win both those games and we are in, regardless of the other
results.
Also fancy us against northampton. We might even do it with
bonus points and only winning one more, if we end up on the
other side of a couple of shootouts. We could run the table with
the internationals back, but think a 50:50 record the rest of
the way is more realistic.

Quinssa have sold nearly 1,000 tickets to Irish (A) all sitting
together which should creat an unbelievable noise and make it
nearly a home match.

Wouldn’t be surprised that there is more than 1K of Quins fans
at Irish game… I know a lot of people who’ve also bought just
directly through Irish

For reference, Irish have averaged around 7000 tickets per game
this season, so this is excellent work by Quinssa
