Top 4 Predictions

[Snipe Watson]

Cliche time. There are no easy games. Nobody is going to lie down and let us have the points, we will have to earn 4th place and it will be hard.

[Big-al]

Munster have Earls, ROG, POC Wallace, leamy et al in their squad vs Cardiff. Lets hope they do the jeb

If there ever was a time we needed the Turnips to do us a favour it is now, we really need them to leave Cardiff with no points from that match

baaa, the more I look at the fixtures, the more pesimistic I get....

We pretty much need Munster to do us a favour this weekend. Cardiff also have to go away to connaght so I guess you never know there.

Personally, I don't think we have much hope of winning more than 1 away game and Llanelli at home is a tough one. Realistically, we could finish the season with only 1 more win very easily - don't like to be too pessimistic but a dose a realism does no harm... A lot depends on how the lads coming back from injury can slot back into the side: Humph, Tuohy, Botha and Ferris have all been out for a while and we need these guys to be firing on all cylinders.

HEC QF, 5th in league and a viable 3/4 line under 23 - I'd have taken that at the start of the season.

[Big-al]

4th in the league

backline U20/21

[backawaygoonahead]

Yes, OK 4th in the League but we have been playing possum against Munster and Leinster so far this season but when we get them in the knock out I expect us to knock seven colours of tom kite out of them.

I also expect us to win the Heineken Cup, win the up coming elections and as the largest party to nominate Johann Muller as First Minister (well he is a mentalist after all). I expect Stand Up for the Ulstermen to win the Eurovision song contest, McGlock to lift a Nobel Prize and for Dan Tuohy to go on from his astonishing knowledge of Lord Kitchener's death by drowning to earn a 1st in History.

I expect next season to be tougher, its always hard to defend a league title and retaining the Heineken Cup has proved elusive to many great teams - we will be no different.

Flip, very tight for the 4th spot. I think if we can beat Llanelli next week we should just about scrape it.

A trip to turnipstan, sounds like a good weekend!!

lol - fingers crossed!!

Watching the Munster game earlier it is hard to understand the crowd in Cardiff such a poor turnout for what was a crunch game. Munster look like favorites to top the group no team will want to go there for a semi or a final if we can scratch the fourth slot might as well concede it to a team who has beaten us handily twice this season already . If it is leinster against them in the final probably it will be the aviva. Thus giving D4 a fillup.

[Cap'n Grumpy]

I think the final will be in Aviva anyway.

I think it gets played in a neutral venue in the country of the team that tops the league before the play-offs. If as expected Munster top the league, I would assume the final will be in Aviva.

I'm sure cables will correct me if I'm wrong

PS - we may get beaten, but we'll never concede!
