Can see them winning there if they go fully loaded which opens the door slightly for Ulster. Still need 2 wins from final 3 which is a huge long shot. After Friday I expect that level of performance to be replicated in the last 3 games.

Scarlets unlikely to catch Leinster for 1st. Can lose v Edinburgh and still have control of 2nd spot going into Round 21. Playing Dragons in MS last round.

Certainly is an interesting decision for them. Leinster playing Treviso this week so their team selection has implications for Ulster.
Hints from the Scarlets coach in the press that there will be "squad rotation" this weekend v Edinburgh. Not a shock if true. Do have a big semi final next week.

Other PROxx 17/18

Final Round of Fixtures in the Regular season:

Saturday 28th April

2pm :king::king: v Cheetahs
3:05pm Westies v :mexican: TG4
3:05pm Scaaaaarlets v Dragons BBC2W
5pm Treviso v Zebre
5:35pm Caaaardiff v Ospreys S4C
5:35pm >TT v :red: TG4/BBC2NI
7:45pm Edinburgh v Glasgow Sky Sports

A few issues still to be settled. In Conference A, Cardiff can still catch Cheetahs but would need a BP win and the Cheetahs to pick no points in their game. Long shot. Zebre only 2 points behind Connacht at the bottom of the Conference.

In Conference B, Ulster can still catch Edinburgh for 3rd and an away playoff game v Munster. However would need a BP win and the Scots to get nul points in their game. Another long shot.

Edinburgh themselves are only 1 point behind the Scarlets. Would need a win and some help from the Dragons. If the Scarlets get a 4 pointer, then Edinburgh need a BP win. Again another long shot.

Finally the Scarlets can in theory catch Leinster, but would take a BP win for them and zero points for the Dublin side in Galway with a turnaround in the point difference of 127 points over the 2 games! 2 hopes – Bob Hope and No Hope.

Well they were looking for a world class coach so it is correct they went looking in Ulster.

They work on the basis that fenians just watch GAA .............how very last century of them bnot to realise that whilst a welter of weemin despise Ulster and shitloads of Romans & Roman weemin are just love Logan's red & white Army. :roll:

I love many weemin and all fenians except the wans from Dublin............. or the Cork ones who start every sentence with "Of course I accept the not guilty verdict but .........." I'd love to stove in their craniums and mush their feeble excuse for a brain. I think my extra wide flanged sand iron would be perfect for the job. Love a wide flange I do. :thumleft:
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
