I was flat out wrong about Saints being competitive despite a weakened team. They simply failed to put anything together. Poor even as a second string team. Bath slightly flattered by the score thanks to the interceptions but fully deserve their win and the home semi. Sale... Well absolutely outstanding performance for them, rescued their season after a really poor winter. Quins-Bears lived up to it's billing as an attacking ping pong match, but both teams missing out. Exeter's Away curse having the final say, much as it had a big impact on their early season games. Those semi finals look really tasty, the spectre of Sarries' spoiling the Saints' party in 2015 might finally be put to rest, or it's coming back to haunt Saints.
