BT Sport - it all hinges on Friday
« on: Thursday 04-Apr-2019, 06:50* »
UgO (typo came out as Ugh) and Ben Kay on BT went through potential top 4 in Rugby Tonight.

Ruled out Wasps and Bath as having too much to do given their run ins.

Said rest of season pivots entirely on our match on Friday.

Win and it’s over for Sale - plus they think too much for Saints.

So. Guess we’ll see.

Any kind of win would put us in a great position, but a defeat for us and a win for Saints would put a lot of pressure on us when they visit next week.

Gloucester seem to have picked up some costly injuries in their back three which might end up limiting their attack (they score a lot out wide). I’m not sure how much that will help us, but more than one win might give us an outside shot of 3rd.

They said Gloucester looked good for it even though they're facing most of the sides that are going to be scrapping to stay in the Prem.

Overall they reckon the 8 point existing gap between the pair of us and 5th is a pretty good buffer given the way the remaining games fall.

I think it was Fursty who said we'll probably get top 4 with one more win and a couple of bonus points. I agree with him.

Ben Kay really grates on you that much? ;)

In all seriousness, I quite like his punditry. Very even-handed.

Yeah I think he's excellent - and unlike Dallaglio and Wasps - he always is very staight-forward and not "club blind" when he's speaking as a board member of Tigers.

So one of the most important games of our season gets shunted to a Friday night with most of our fans unable to make the match due to work and the distance involved. Had this been a 15:00 Saturday/Sunday kick off I could have made that.

Yeah but the first few words of that sentence tells you why it's on TV on Friday night.

It's also Sale's preferred kick-off day & time for games, so it's unsurprising that it's a Friday...

Yep - that was me and I’m standing by it.
