We have a tough run of games, but with home and away against Ulster it’s in our own hands
I had forgotten that too.
I also couldn’t recall Champions Cup qualification this year, so looked at that.
The fourth team in each conference play off for the seventh qualification spot from the Pro14. So Edinburgh have three chances of getting in to the Champions Cup this time:-
Third place in the conference
Challenge Cup Winners
Pro14 seventh place play-off winners.
That looks like good odds.
It would be a very fine achievement if Cockerill managed that in his first season.
I like how he's going about his business.
