Aviva Prem Predictions

Who will win?

Who will finish top of the league?

Who will make the Playoffs?

Who's for the drop?

Which team will shine?

etc....etc....

I believe that it may be the same top 4 that we saw last season.
Gloucester may just break into that playoff spot at the expense of Quins or Saints.

I don't think that Newcastle will go straight down - Deano has been there before and knows whats required.
LI could start slowly - so many leavers and I don't know a lot of the new arrivals, they were pretty poor last season.
Sale have re-structured, but results wont improve if they keep picking Cipriani and he keeps hoofing the ball away.
Worcester - not sure, not a fan of Dean Ryan - could struggle.
Those are my 3 contenders for the drop.

I would love Quins to have another good run of results up to Christmas - key players have been rested and will hopefully start with a bang.

Tigers to top the league
Sarries to win the Jeff (ahem, Portnoy...  )
Quins & Glaws to make up the top 4
Chiefs & Saints in the top 6
Wuss for the drop
Wasps to shine, but SID costs them post Christmas

I think it's between Irish and Sale for the drop, like you said I can't see Falcons going down with Deano at the helm.

But I do think Ryan will do well at Worcester.

I've got to back my team for a playoff spot, Bath have a decent squad on paper and will benefit when the international players are away compared to other teams. Bath 4th spot for me

Sarries to top the table
Tigers to secure second home semi-final.

Saints, Glaws and Quins to make up the next 3 places - perhaps in that order.

Saints lose at Welford Rd, but Glaws shock Sarries with an all action running game.

Shed-heads march on Twickenham desperate to avenge their last final against Tigers.




Bath and Chiefs fight for 6th spot. Chiefs sneak it, but Bath win the LV as consolation. Wasps finish 8th and secure the final spot in the new Anglo/French Cup.

Dog fight at the bottom of the table, with Worcester and London Irish entering the last week of the season needing the right result.
