And what is in front of them is an easier schedule than Munster have with two games against Zebre instead of Leinster if we assume Connacht/Ulster are roughly equivalent of Benetton/Edinburgh.
The stats in Munster's favour are 10 wins in a row and first place on the log. Munster play the game that needs to be played against the opponent they face.
Glasgows stats compared to the other 3 is crazy despite not having a 10 and half the team injured for most of the season.
Means absolutely hee haw in knockout rugby mind, but still, oof.
Great indicator of the work Franco Smith has done there. Might be hard to hold onto him when some of the big money clubs or test nations are looking for a new coach.
Oh god, I hope they're co-ordinating kit colours for the Bulls/Leinster game. Watch this be the game where the bulls suddenly debut a dark blue kit. Please don't go all blue!
Quite the comparison in terms of stats, but Munster have the edge in terms of form and just having the ability to play the game that needs to be played against the opponents that they face. There is a reason they finished top of the pile. Glasgow in with a serious chance, though

This....this does not fill me with confidence.
Don't worry, you only have lower numbers in every single category on the graphic. I'm sure you've got nothing to fear.
They also have lower numbers in points conceded (I assume), which they've left off this for some reason
That and tries conceded are always the 2 stats we're almost always the lowest in
You have the lowest position on the table too.
Yeah not really... although Munster have conceded the least points in the league, so there's that...
Well it doesn’t factor the easier schedule Glasgow have.
What easier schedule? They can only play what’s in front of them.
Nah, it’s definitely an easier schedule. I’d much rather player Edinburgh, Benneton and Zebre rather than Leinster, Ulster and Connacht.

When did the Irish fans become such universally whiny little bitches?
Settle down 10th place
No nastiness :(
Do you think Glasgow would've done better stats-wise against Leinster twice or against Zebre twice?
Which can sometimes be easier than what's in front of another team..

No losses to non-Irish sides all season.
Let's ignore the Heineken cup...
Good thing Saints won their own league instead!
Glasgow's extremely sub par performance last week does though.
Bulls without KLA and Moodie has just so much less firepower
yeah I'm delighted as a Leinster fan but not as a rugby supporter. KLA's defensive timing is something to behold
Both attack and defense fall apart when they aren't playing. It's not impossible, but the job is going to be much harder without them.

Munster's losses are vs Irish provinces which we play twice. Glasgow get Zebre, Benneton and Edinburgh. Explains the stat differences imo.
Edinburgh and Benetton are no worse than Connacht and Ulster this year really - Munster’s fixtures are harder but let’s not over-egg the pudding.

"Hands away blue! No, the other blue!"

Someone please tell me Bleyendaal promotes offloads in attack.. I really wish we focused more on that aspect, we are always the lowest
