If we play second seeds, then we both had home QFs, and because they were seeded higher, they earn the home SF.
If we play seventh seeds, then we have already had a home game and they haven't (and won a knockout game away), so they earn the home SF.

True, I would argue team 7 and 8 perhaps didn't deserve a home knockout game but if they have to beat team 1 or 2 then I suppose they'd have earned it!
But if everything went to plan we'd play Gloucester away in a semi final right?
