Predictions:
Bedford 5 - 0 Ampthill - Will be a great game but in front of fans at GR I think Bedford will finally produce an 80 minute performance and comfortably beat their local rivals. Richmond 1 - 5 Coventry - Even though Cov got a drubbing against Sarries they should still have enough quality to defeat Mond who have faded a bit in recent weeks. Saracens 5 - 0 Hartpury - This is just the fixture you would want when you have shipped 50 points at home... I don’t envy Hartpury this weekend, at all. This could be painful. Jersey 1 - 5 Cornish Pirates - Jersey have really struggled against the top 4/5 teams this season and I expect that to continue this weekend, Pirates have regained some momentum in the last couple of weeks. Reds will play better than they did against Coventry but don’t think it will be enough. Doncaster 5 - 0 Nottingham - I’M GOING TO THIS ONE!!!. I expect Donny to finish a great season on a high note. We need the BP win to guarantee third and I think we’ll get it. Nottingham will compete well but I think will be overpowered at the end. Donny by 6 tries to 3. 45-24 prediction.

Bedford 3-3 Ampthill. I have absolutely no idea how this one will go. All competitive games in the last 2 seasons have seen Ampthill triumph, but Bedford’s game will click eventually. So I will sit on the fence and predict a high scoring draw.
Richmond 0-5 Coventry. Richmond were a very ordinary side against Ampthill. An on the rebound Coventry will gradually ramp up a bonus point win. Saracens 5-0 Hartpury. Good luck, Hartpury. The only plus I can see for the away side is if Saracens rack up a quick 50 points and then replace all their internationals. Jersey 0-4 Cornish Pirates. Two solid sides but Pirates have enjoyed the better season. Doncaster 4-1 Nottingham. Nottingham have improved all season but Doncaster have remained consistent and should deservedly secure 3rd spot. |

Bedford 2-5 Ampthill - I hope that Bedford is allowed a decent number of spectators to watch what is sure to be an exciting match. I think it will go very loose by the second half, and will be a beautiful spectacle.
Richmond 0-5 Coventry. Cov have the perfect fixture to bounce back on. Richmond have been rotating a lot to give their second 15 game time this season as a community club should, but it hasn't led to the best outcomes week on week. Saracens 5-0 Hartpury - Sarries likely to rest players to match Ealing. I still think that they get 9 tries to Hartpury's 1. Hartpury's defense was woeful vs. Ealing earlier in the year. Jersey 3-3 Pirates - In honor of CC, I'm going to pick a 3-3 draw for the last match of the season in Jersey. I'll actually be in Cornwall, so sad it isn't in Penzance from that point of view. Doncaster 5-1 Nottingham - Nottingham have really gelled in the last few weeks, but Donny have built a very tough side and will put on a display for the faithful. |

I think the last thing it will be is loose - at least if Ampthill have any sense. All they need to do is watch the Notts match - keep it tight, plenty of scrum and kick to the corners and let Blues' inability to cope with the mauls and scrum do the rest.

I thought Ampthills definition of loose was to let the inside centre run the crash ball instead of the back row forward. (-: I always remember those matches as being fierce physical encounters. with the backs there to take advantage of the holes the battering opened up. On the other hand, we won some of them. But if we want to rekindle that rivalry, we will need to be promoted. I do not see them coming down for a while

Blues is a “sell out” at 1,500.

Apparently Saracens v Hartpury is off due to a Covid outbreak at Hartpury

https://www.saracens.com/match-postponed-saracens-men-v-hartpury-university-rfc/. I imagine that Sarries will get awarded the win there and they won’t have to replay the game. At least it doesn’t impact the table so much.

Few transport issues today: Cov Twitter reported them stuck in traffic en route to Richmond at 1.10pm; Pirates' plane was due to land in Jersey at 12.20 but just arrived 3/4 of an hour late...
Update: Richmond Twitter post that KO at the RAG back by 10mins to 2.10pm Edited by islander - 29 May 2021 at 13:45 |
