Three games to go and four teams are in a right mess – Worcester worst of all. Forget the big-name signings, the amazing stadium, the packed houses, relegation waits for no club according to Will Greenwood in the Daily Telegraph.
"There is no room for errors. You get it wrong, and for one club it is bye bye. I have been relegated so I know that right now life is miserable. Sadly it is a self-induced misery because if the teams had not been so bad on such a consistent basis they would not be in the mess they are right now.
"Harlequins were rubbish, and we deserved to go down. The table does not lie. Injuries can contribute, so can players leaving, but 22 games is plenty of time to find some form. If you deserve to stay up, then you do.
"Relegation is normally down to poor signings, lack of focus, lack of desire, or too much indiscipline. An inability to stick to a game-plan goes a long way towards opening the trap door as well. Get the fear of the drop and all of a sudden teams start playing the "mustn't lose" game-plan, as opposed to the "let's go win this" strategy."
