Ospreys v Aironi is a meaningless game too...


Edit: Guess it would be harsh not to televise their last ever match.

Seen as BBC Alba is showing Glasgow v Connacht instead of Edinburgh v Treviso, the Italian brodcasters were always going to show Aironi seen as they are playing in Italy.

The Ospreys are averaging two home losses per season for the last three seasons. This year one in the Rabo, to Glasgow during the 6 Nations, and one in the HEC to Saracens. Last season both were in the Magners (Dragons and Munster). The season before to Ulster and Leinster in the Magners.

The biggest losing margin in these 6 games was 7 points to Leinster in 09/10.

Honestly they're the only team I fear in the play offs as they've done the double on us this season, as well as on Munster and Connacht.

Munster should have beaten them in Swansea this season. Remember the scrums near the end when it was reset about 10 times and finally the Scottish ref gave a penalty against Munsters scrum.

Also before that there was the James Jones show in Thomond.

They're still such an awkward team to play against, they are easily capable of winning the title.

In the past, you have been notified by email if you have been successful, but no email if you got nothing. I know several in the draw, and we are going to keep watch on our email and then get in touch with each other. Someone should post here when they get an email.

If you are on twitter they will announce when word starts filtering through.

Going to be a lot tougher than the last couple of finals to pick up tickets.
