Ban the play offs!

Gloucester who were top for the whole of the season don't get anything for it! Your whole season you dominate and then one game and you lose it. It's not fair if you ask me! They should be for a different competition or get rid of them completely.

Nothing more than a money making exercise. Well to WASPS for winning 2 games on the run in the knockout. Well done to Gloucester RFC for being top of the league for all but one weekend of the season. What do they get? Nothing! Such a farce.
