We would be a point behind.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

Yep any Edinburgh win v Ulster and you're in the Finals Series.[/quote]
? not sure if that's right.Even if we beat Ulster with a 5 point BP win on 7th April at most we'll be 14 points ahead of them-but Ulster will still have three games (as opposed to our two) still to play and of course that means they could still harvest 15 points from those games.
So yes any would would surely all but seal it but not mathematically by any means.[/quote]
We're currently 13 ahead.[/quote]
Thanks.Apologies-I'm sre the BBC Sport website was still showing only a 9 point lead quite last yesterday-though I did think it was a larger gap by then (honest!)
Anyway cheery news though lets worry about the implications Scarlets game if and when we've beaten Ulster.

Benetton loss probably important in context of season, after agood start to the season it showed Cockerill what he was dealing with in terms of concentration and application, don't think we have seen a similar performance since.
