If we end up in the Challenge Cup, we’ll be seeded 9-12.Neill_M wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 11:07 pmLots of possibilities but a fair assumption is R92 get max points v Cardiff and Ulster will drop into Challenge Cup if they don't win at Quins.solidarity wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 10:04 pm Someone keep me right here.
We are safe for the Challenge cup unless
a) Cardiff win, Racing get two bonus points and we lose to Quins without a bonus point
b) Cardiff and Racing draw with a bonus point each and we lose by more than 60 points (!)
We can stay in the Champions cup if
a) we get at least two points, Racing don't get a bonus point and we score at least 8 points more than Racing
... or something like that.
Racing play Cardiff at 3:15pm on the Saturday so our status will be sorted by 5pm basically.
Will probably be the Sunday before any opponent in R16 of either Cup is known.

An honest but stupid comment in my view. It's alright having that opinion in private but it will be put to him again if we manage to make the later stages in the challenge Cup.Bart S wrote:Good to see McCloskey saying ahead of the game that he doesn't want to be playing in the Challenge Cup.
Ending up there would represent a failure
Don't worry the team will play like they don't want to be there anyway.Bart S wrote:Good to see McCloskey saying ahead of the game that he doesn't want to be playing in the Challenge Cup.

McCann is more of a threat at the breakdown, Timoney is more explosive off a scrum.
