Zurich Premiership relegation battle
With just one weekend of games and the Tuesday game between Leeds and Harlequins left to go it's still impossible to tell which team is likely to be relegated. Leeds, Harlequins, Worcester, Northampton and London irish are all going into the last week wondering if it's their last in the premiership, at least for a while.
Irish under pressure
London Irish were dealt a blow to their chances of survival today with their 21-19 loss against Bath. Bath are fighting. along with Sale for third place. I feel Worcester should surive the last round of games and can look forward to another season of premiership rugby. Not that i'm biased, of course. A win against Northampton will seal their place whatever happens in the other games. After staring at the table for a while i think they could stay up even if they don't win. (as long as other results go the right way) They won't be thinking like that, though. They will go out and play as if their lives depended on it. I'm pretty sure they will be favourites to win at home against Northampton. It will complete a double home/away victory over Northampton this season. The ideal situation was that Northampton wouldn't be in the relegation battle going into the last game. That didn't happen but at least it makes for an exciting season finale. Hopefully Sky sports will decide to televise the game. The last time I looked they still hadn't published which game would be covered next week. I think it's a choice between Wasps and Leicester at the top and Worcester and Northampton in their relegation fight. I think they'll choose the right one.

With both bottom of the table Leeds and Harlequins playing the teams both fighting for third place next week, it will be hard to think both can come away with wins. A win for Halequins on Tuesday evening and they are safe. As a Worcester Warriors suporter I'm not sure which team i should be cheering on in that game. Maybe it doesn't really matter who wins.
