[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 816180, member: 45598"] It's standard enough for the provinces, especially Leinster and Munster, start slowly. I'm reasonably happy with Leinster's two games, very rusty round 1 and the better team for 55minutes yesterday despite being down McGrath, both international hookers, Ross and Furlong, Toner, SOB, Heaslip, Ruddock, Sexton, Henshaw and Nacewa off the top of my head isn't too bad. Not getting points at Scotstoun won't kill anyone's season so I'm still predicting us to top the league and reach the final. The Welsh are looking nifty but always tend to fade once Europe becomes a focus and with, seemingly, some improvement to Edinburgh too I can see them and Cardiff taking Connacht's and Scarlet's top 6 spots from last year. I'd still predict three Provinces and Glasgow in the playoffs if Munster can string wins together in December, January and February and then post 6nations when the provinces tend to be at their strongest. Leinster, Glasgow and Ulster are dead certs for the playoffs in my opinion and Munster, Cardiff and potentially Edinburgh and the O's are battling for the lost spot. [/QUOTE]
