Rotherham's pack was not impressive earlier this season

I play my last league match of the season on Saturday when Coventry travel to newly-crowned champions Rotherham, and it should be an interesting trip.

I must offer my congratulations to Rotherham and I hope that they are finally promoted to the Premiership after last year's problems.

I think that they will go up this year because they seem to have their ground sorted out, but I also think they will struggle in the Premiership.

They will have to sign at least half-a-dozen players to be able to compete and I think they will be weaker than the last side to go up, fellow Yorkshire side Leeds.

Worcester have been the only side able to live with Rotherham in the race for the title this year.

But I was not that impressed by the champions when we played them at Coundon Road earlier in the season.

It is ridiculous the number of games England players are expected to play

Their pack was not that strong and we were well into the game until the last 10 minutes, when they were given a lucky penalty.

It was me who was penalised at a ruck, despite the fact that I went through to secure the ball from behind the back foot.

To add insult to injury I was also yellow-carded, and I am still not happy with the decision.

As soon as I got hold of the ball their scrum-half appealed to the referee and he gave the penalty because of that.

It is hard to tell who will be swapping places with Rotherham, but I think the match between Bristol and Bath in 10 days will be decisive - whoever loses that will probably go down.

Bath were European champions in 1998

It seems funny to say it, because they have both had so many big games over the years and have won European Cups and the like, but it will be the biggest match in the history of the two clubs.

Relegation would be a disaster and they could both be playing, quite literally, for their future.

Whoever goes down it does not change my opinion that there should be 14 teams in the Premiership.

This is partly because of the financial situation that clubs are in if they get relegated, and partly because there are just too many games played in England.

It is ridiculous the number of games England players are expected to play at the moment.

Because of that I am sure that Clive Woodward is delighted that no English club made it into the last four of the European Cup.

I bet he is also really happy that Leicester look like missing out on the play-offs as well, because at least that means some of his biggest players can get a rest.

That is great news for England with a World Cup looming.
