Re: The Quickening 2017
Overshadowed by the ongoing fallout from recent events in the City of Light - French cheating on the HIA front, Waynes Barnes' finest 100 minutes etc. - is the significance of the knock Alun Wyn Jones shipped in the course of that match. He's got what looks like a serious shoulder injury, which at the moment they're saying could prevent him making the Lions tour. That being the case it looks highly unlikely, that he'll be leading the Ospreys out against Leinster on the 8th of April in the Liberty Stadium. Our chances therefore of making a home semi in the Pro 12 would seem to have slightly increased, thanks to the French. See: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugb ... s-12764783

Re: The Quickening 2017
AWJ is very similar to POC in terms of character and I hope he recovers to make Lions tour. Ospreys will miss him in Pro 12.Xanthippe wrote:To be fair to Alun Wyn I think practically everyone always see him at his best.

With 5 rounds to go in Pro 12 the Ospreys game is pivotal if we are to get a home top 2 place.
I think Munster (63pts) will get 5 Zebre a, 4 Glasgow h, 4 Ulster h, 5 Treviso a, 5 Connacht h which would give them 86pts. They have easier run in & unless we beat Ospreys 86 pts would be hard to beat.
Ospreys (64pts) have Treviso a, Leinster h, Cardiff a, Ulster h, Scarlets a.
We are on 66pts & need something like 5 Cardiff h, 4 Ospreys a, 4 Connacht a, 4 Glasgow h, 4 Ulster a = 87pts & if we got 1st would probably be home in SF to
Scarlets (53pts) who play Edinburgh h, Treviso h, Dragons a, Connacht a, Ospreys h.
Ulster (57pts) are outsiders with Dragons a, Cardiff h, Munster a, Ospreys a, Leinster h.

Re: The Quickening 2017
Glasgow and Connacht will be very difficult games for Munster as neither opposition pack will be bullied.
Cardiff, Us and Scarlets will be difficult games for Ospreys without AWJ.
If we get 85 points we will be top 2 and possibly 1st. Happy with that but would like first. Integration will be the key, even for Sat next and Leo and Coaches have delicate decisions to make. Exit from B&I compounds matters re keeping players sharp.

Re: The Quickening 2017
B&I knockouts are a double edged sword. You lose an opportunity to get gametime for squad players BUT. You don't have your squad stretched trying to fulfill both sets of fixtures on Euro weekends. Plus the risk of injury attached.
There is the AIL for keeping players sharp if needed.
However we do have a very deep and fit squad for the time of year. :touching wood emoticon:

Re: The Quickening 2017
If there's a need for an A team fixture to keep the squad sharp, there's always the option of arranging a game against whichever championship side should have been playing London Welsh. I imagine they'd rather some gate receipts rather than none.

Re: The Quickening 2017
Wow. That puts a very different complexion our game against them. If we win that and one more of our remaining games I think we're guaranteed a home SF.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Re: The Quickening 2017
Very, very nice gift for us from Treviso (or the Ospreys)
So if we win in Swansea, we'd only need a win and a couple of bonus points from the Glasgow, Connacht and Ulster games. It really does make us favourites now for a home SF.

The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.
