Pool A
Jersey 5-0 Pury - Expect lots of changes from both teams but at home Jersey will want to win this
Archers 0-5 Trailfinders Banker away win

Pool B
Blues 5-2 Cov My tie of the round and should be a great match to see
McQuins 2-5 Donny Clash of the top two teams should be a cracker

Pool C
Amps 2-3 Mond Two well matched sides 
Caldy 2-5 Pirates Could go either way two teams who give everything every time
Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD.

Pool A
Jersey 5-0 Hartpury ... Jersey will rotate, but it will not make a difference.
Nottingham 0-5 Ealing ... Back-to-back nasties for Nottingham. Can't see past another big win for ET.

Pool B
Bedford 1-5 Cov ... Was last week's result against LS a blip? we shall find out, but I am not so sure (prepared to be proved wrong though).
LS 1-5 Doncaster ... Will last week's result kick start the Exiles season? I'm not so sure. Donny will be really tough up front, but LS have proved that they can score tries.

Pool C
Ampthill 5-0 Richmond ... This will be tight, but I think that the Mob will run away with it at the end.
Caldy 0-5 CP ... Pirates to build on their big win last week. Expect more of the same.
Tackle Low!!!!!

I'm not saying the cup has captured my imagination (nor anyone else's)... but it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. 2 clashes this weekend between teams that lost their opening game: lose 2 on the spin and you'd face a real battle to get in the mix to qualify.

As only one team from each pool + best second place qualifies it seems likely that two losses will be one too many to qualify. The format is:

4.3 The Cup format is as follows: (i) Round 1 – 6 ties played Home and Away involving the twelve Championship Clubs that finish in positions 1-11th in the 2021-22 Championship, and the promoted Club from National 1 from the 2021-22 League. (ii) Clubs will play in 3 pools of 4 Clubs, as below: Pool A Pool B Pool C 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th Promoted (iii) Semi-finals – 4 qualifiers determined as the 1st placed Club in each pool, and one 2nd placed Club with the Best Playing Record in Rounds 1 - 6. (iv) Semi-finals will be played as follows: • Semi-final 1 – the highest ranked Club plays the lowest ranked Club; played at the home venue of the highest ranked Club. • Semi-final 2 – the second highest ranked Club plays the third highest ranked Club; played at the home venue of the second highest ranked Club. (v) Final – the two semi-final winners; played at the home venue of the Club with the Best Playing Record from the semi-finals.

pool a  jersey  5 0 hartpury  - Harpury were baaaaaad last weekend.
           nottingham 1 5 ealing - I think Ealing will still score 40, but may leak four tries, especially in the closing stages.

  pool b   bedford  0  5 coventry - Bedford lost to Scottish.
              scottish  1 5 doncaster - Scottish can't win two in a row.

pool c     ampthill  5 0 richmond - Richmond don't seem to take the cup seriously - I may make the squad this week.
             caldy       5 1 pirates - The longest of journeys to favor the home side.

Pool A
Jersey 5 - 0 Hartpury.  Home Banker
Nottingham 0 - 5 Ealing. Who cares LOL. 
Pool B
Bedford 5 - 2 Coventry. Could go either way
London Scottish 5 - 2 Doncaster.  2 on the trot, why not Wink
Pool C
Ampthill 5 - 0 Richmond.  Home Banker  
Caldy 4 - 0 Cornish Pirates  Home slog but a home win

Jersey 5-0 Hartpury. It's a long way to go to come second by a mile so I wish the Hartpury lads a good night out on Saturday.
Nottingham 1-5 Ealing. The Ealing machine to rumble on but I see Nottingham scoring 4 tries.
Bedford 1-4 Coventry. If the weather is wet, then the Coventry forwards will pound the Bedford pack.
L Scottish 0-4 Doncaster. A professional side should take every game seriously. I expect Doncaster to prevail.
Ampthill 5-0 Richmond. I base this prediction purely on last week's results.
Caldy 1-4 C Pirates. The Pirates will be encouraged by last week's result and should just hold their ground.
Always trying to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
