Saffies have had all the tough sides at home, the rub of a very large green on several occasions and a one-dimensional game-plan which has been well and truely sussed out. And they still have to go to Edgeley Park, Adams Park, Franklins Gardens, Kingsholm and Welford Road, plus "welcome" Newcastle who have a better kick-and-chase gameplan.

They'll do well to stay top 4 form here on in.
