If I had time and inclination, I'd be minded to build a spreadsheet model to model the permutations. My guess is that there might be some surprises.

Go on then.

What I need is someone to tell me if we are going to do it or not. Can someone please post a weekly update?

Cheers.

I tried to do just that, but my maximum attention span is 15 minutes and I think I needed 20

I think that 7 wins - taking us to 27 points - should get us in.

That means we can only afford to lose one more match! Unfortunately, there's pretty well no evidence from this season that we can win 7 out of 8....

21-24 would have been good enough for top 8 for the last several years. You forget that not all the teams can win all their games.

Easy.



This week = Not much chance
Next week = Less chance
2 weeks = Still mathematically possible
3 weeks = Not a cat in hell's
4 weeks = More chance of me pulling Megan Fox

and so on

I'm giving up looking at the league table, I just want to see some good Rugby for a change. If we get to see a little more of what Donaldson, Whitehead and perhaps one or two others might offer us next year then even better.

Continuing that progression, extremely curious to know what the unlikely event for the final week would be?

I'm struggling to think of anything more unlikely than me pulling Megan Fox.

Probably something along the lines of the universe imploding.
