There is no playoff
Qualification criteria changed


In May 2017, it was announced that, starting with qualification for the 2018–19 Champions Cup, the play-off will be scrapped in favour of awarding the berth using the following criteria:

Champions Cup winner, if not already qualified.

European Rugby Challenge Cup winner, if not already qualified.

Challenge Cup losing finalist, if not already qualified.

Challenge Cup semi-finalist, if one has not already qualified (or the winner of a play-off between the semi-finalists, if both have not already qualified).

Highest ranked non-qualified club by virtue of league position from the same league as the Champions Cup winner.

Section 3.2.7

Lord, Munster have such an easy run in.

I fancy Munster coming third in conference A. They've been atrocious away from home this year and they're away five of the next seven.

Does anyone know what Connacht's back end is like? I'll take them to win this week.

Connacht have a real shot at a home semi here. Glasgow and Munster will lose a lot of players to the Six Nations and they have one eye on Europe.

Munster, Connacht, ospreys and Cardiff’s run ins are all in a table a few posts up. There is a few matches between the four teams yet and they’ll decide a lot. I’d be very optimistic of at least 2nd in the Conference if Connacht can beat Munster. It’s going to be an exciting end to the season.

Ah yes, I see the list now. Cheers.

That last game in Thomond will be juicy.

Don’t have too many fond memories down there. Would hope to have top three place in the bag before then

Munster 74
Connacht 67
Ospreys 58
Cardiff 42

Gave us 1lbp vs Glasgow and turned a WBP into a LBP for Ospreys vs Cheetahs(A)

To get third, while not ideal, we can afford to lose to Cardiff away.
Given their current form that is a live possibility.

Given Ospreys and Scarlets fall off this year, Munster have a very handy run in.
However, the table above would have us going to Thomond on 67 and them on 70 which would make for a great final match!

Glasgow is during the 6N so a win isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

RTE jumping on the Carty hype train

It's great to see the national media taking note of his progress, could be an interesting couple of months for Jack if everything keeps going the way it is at the moment.

That link might break as they have it under the GAA section at the moment!

Someone will be a long now to tell us that "I've been a vocal critic of Jack in the past but...." as though this should make their opinion more valid.

Jack Kelly would be interesting. Pretty versatile and a leader.

Since when did looks come into it? :pac:

2019 now looks are everything. Heard aquaman had record number of sales due to mainly woman funding Jason maoma attractive. Maybe a squad full of lookers could sell more season tickets.
