Thats the spirit!

Totally agree, but we need to stay positive and go after a BP win tonight. If we go down fighting then so be it.

What I dont want to see is us playing turgid rugby in the last 20 mins if we are chasing the game, we have to cut loose and if it doesnt work then so be it, but we cant die wondering.

Draw or both BPs will be enough for Edinburgh to finish ahead of Scarlets.

I couldn't bear to watch that but I'm so pleased that Drags pulled it off.

Now we need Zebre to do us another favour

What the f*** happened there?? Scarlets had that in the bag at HT. Their supporters will be mightily peed off tonight.

Sensational result for the Dragons this afternoon. They hadn't a won a PRO12/14 match away from Rodney Parade for more than 4 years - since 28th March 2015 when they beat Benetton 32 -17 at Stadio Monigo.

So would a high scoring draw suit both teams tonight?

Conspiracies at the ready....
I’m assuming Trevino don’t slip up

assuming Benetton win we need a win to get a home play off for the big cup spot, unless Leinster beat Sarries in the final and the two fourth-placed teams go through

… I think

You can only get a home playoff for the Champions Cup if the Ospreys and Cardiff draw (with no TBP for Ospreys) and you get a BP win against Glasgow by a margin of at least 20 points. Any result other than that in the Os v Blues game and one of those 2 teams is guaranteed to host the Champions Cup playoff.

You need at least 2 points for the Champions Cup playoffs.

Both 4th place teams in the PRO14 will go into the Champions Cup if:

Leinster win this year's tournament; and
Clermont and La Rochelle both finish in the top 6 in the Top 14; and
Harlequins and Sale both finish in the top 6 in the Premiership.
