And the conferences will be reset every year depending on performance.
So, we have to finish ahead of Ulster, Leinster & Scarlets to make the play offs and qualify for the EC (ok, highest scoring 4th team also qualifies). That's a tough ask. I think the other conference looks slightly weaker than ours, with them having Zebre, so I suspect 4th place in Conference A is likely to be higher scoring than in B (although the Saffer teams are very much an unknown). Lots of other unknowns regarding how it will pan out, but one thing that can be said about it - it's a change!
General feeling everywhere else is our conference is weaker. That's going to be the case because basically, whichever one has Glasgow will be the stronger.
