Interview: Gloucester assistant coach Bryan Redpath

Gloucester assistant coach Bryan Redpath believes this year's run-in to the Guinness Premiership play-offs is much closer than expected.

"It's pretty unique, going into the end of the season not knowing who the top two could be," he told BBC Points West.

The Cherry and Whites are currently top of the league but have two difficult fixtures left against Wasps and Bath.

"I wouldn't like to predict it but it'll make interesting viewing over the next month or so," added Redpath.

Saturday's opponents Wasps have an impressive record against Gloucester, which is something Redpath is only too aware of.

"You can never write off Wasps, they've got great resilience and their squad is mentally strong," he said.

"They're well aware of what they want to achieve and they don't cut corners, which I think is crucial in any environment.

"They got a bit of stick at the beginning of the season and they've come back and they can do what they want now."
