Back in September everyone predicted this would be a different kind of Premiership season. They were not wrong. Never have so few points separated so many teams or so much rested on such small margins. Like a murder mystery weekend in a creaking Gothic mansion, no one knows quite who to trust with six rounds to go.
With one club destined to drop into the Championship, could it be that bottom-placed Newcastle will escape? Alternatively, might Worcester disappear through the trapdoor? Or will some other as yet unsuspected plotline unfold, with even 40 points insufficient to guarantee survival?
