If there needs to be a play off, then I've seen the 18th-20th mentioned as being the likely weekend (the same weekend as the Pro 14 semis).

That would be ideal, as we can then avoid the Royal Wedding street party on our road.
there's a space for a CCP (Champions cup playoff?) match on the Pro14 fixtures page the same weekend as the Pro 14 Semis (18/19 May)
Possibly a Challenge Cup playoff. If both finalists are already qualified for next year's Champions Cup through their domestic league then there is a playoff between the losing semi finalists if neither of them are already qualified.

Confused? You should be :lol:
There is a outside possibility of a Newcastle v Pau playoff, but I reckon Newcastle will finish Top 6 in AP, could make end of season playoffs. Would not appear on Pro 14 site anyway, would be something the Lionels would handle in the land of chocolate and fondue!

Seems ludicrous that Ospreys should be in a playoff having finished 5th, currently 20 points adrift of Ulster with just 8 wins from 20 games.
Surely better for the team that finished 4th in this scenario to progress automatically?

Blame the Cheetahs for being so good in their 1st season >EW

If/When the Saffers are allowed into the H Cup, the playoff will be 4th v 4th. The difference in the points between the sides can always happen with conference based leagues. One being stronger than the other etc.

Glaws very bad, away to Sarries next week. Would need Tigers to win at Sale.

At least they do still need to beat Sale.

So need wins for Tigers, Pau and Oyonnax next week to avoid PO. Assuming Sarries will crush Glaws.

Speaking of which - did you see Ronnie O’Sullivans shoulder charge on Carter: reckon that would have put Diack back 2 yards.
