My predications

Newcastle vs. Bedford - 5 - 0 - The only thing that can stop Newcastle at home might be pandemic.
Ampthill vs. Pirates - 1-4 - I think Pirates edge it in the Ampthill Amphitheater.
Doncaster vs. Coventry - 4-1 - Knights to use homefield advantage and a rest to garner a close win against a Coventry side that has been injury hit this year quite badly.
Nottingham vs. Jersey - 5-1 - Jersey seem to have fallen off form recently a bit, so I'll go with the home win again.
Ealing vs. Leeds - 5-0 - I have wanted to watch this game all year, and would like to see a cricket score. Any club that treats its players this way deserves whatever it gets.
Scottish vs. Hartpury - 4-1 - Game of the week for me. Scottish will be stinging from the RFU cuts, but I don't think that Hartpury has the firepower to overcome a Scottish side that can be very awkward to face and can score points in bursts.

Ealing Trailfinders team to take on Leeds tomorrow: Happy to see some returns from injury with Tommy Bell and Jordan Burns returning to the bench. Clearly some squad rotation going on against Leeds. Interesting to see a couple of youngsters in the squad, with Robinson getting a start and Seward on the bench. A good idea to get Seward gametime experience if half the front row is off to Quins next year. No Rayn Smid in the squad - must be the first time in 2 years. Should be capable of doing the business.

15 - Peter Lydon
14 - Pat Howard
13 - David "The Ghost" Johnson - why, why oh why put him on the field?
12 - Harry Sloan
11 - Reon Joseph
10 - Steven Shingler
9 - Craig Hampson
1 - Will Davis
2 - Alun Walker
3 - Elliot Millar-Mills
4 - Ben West
5 - Harry Casson
6 - Adam Korczyk
7 - Oli Robinson
8 - Kieran Murphy

Subs - Matt Cornish (H), Jake Ellwood, Harry Seward, Dave McKern, Shane Buckley, Jordan Burns, Craig Willis, Tommy Bell

Newcastle v Bedford - 5-0 - I personally think Newcastle are unstoppable and will still prove too much for a very improved Bedford side.
Ampthill v Cornish Pirates - 4-1 - As an A's supporter, we have seen off Doncaster and Coventry in the woods. Let's see if they can continue the trend. A massive task though as CPs are an awesome unit.
Doncaster v Coventry - 4-1 - Here are two teams that play much better at home than away, so the home side gets the nod. But it will be close.
Nottingham v Jersey - Game off. And I fear it will be a while before Jersey play again.
Ealing v Yorkshire Carnegie - 5-0 - I read that Ealing are resting some players for this one, but I still think this might be my only correct prediction of the week, thus securing Ampthill's presence in the Championship next season. And I didn't think I would be saying that as early as this at the start of the season.
L Scottish v Hartpury - 4-1 - This could be a humdinger but I expect LS to edge it.

I hope no more games will fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic, but if they do then they do.

CW is aware of the error on the club website. I
am now aware of the error on my correction here.
All is well ;-)

I'll be pleasantly surprised of there's a round 16.  With no promotion or relegation to be played for at this stage, the advent of this virus may put a premature end to the season.

Newcastle Falcons 5 - 0 Bedford Blues - banker home win for Champions-elect.
Ampthill 1 - 4 Cornish Pirates - Pirates to nullify Amps home advantage 
Doncaster Knights 1 - 4 Coventry need to arrest a shocking away form slump
Nottingham - Jersey Reds - Postponed 
London Scottish 4 - 1 Hartpury - a home win, but only just
Ealing Trailfinders 5 - 0 Yorkshire Carnegie- games running out for Carnegie, no change in fortunes here.

Enjoy your rugby, but most of all , stay healthy.

Just a slight clarification Shush, no-one has coronavirus, so no recovery necessary at this stage, it's a precautionary measure right now (statement below):

"Saturday's Greene King Championship IPA match between Nottingham and Jersey Reds has been postponed.

The fixture has been postponed as a result of two Jersey Reds’ players being asked to self-isolate by Jersey Health Authority due to close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19.  

At present neither of the players are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19, nor are any of the other players in the Jersey Reds squad.

Newcastle vs. Bedford 5 - 0  Falcons roll on. Blues could sneak a point, but probably wont.
Ampthill vs. Pirates 4 - I Pirates should win of course,  but Amps at home are tough nut to crack
Doncaster vs. Coventry 4-1 Dour battle which could see Cov slip outside top four
Nottingham vs. Jersey   Match postponed.  .
Ealing vs. Leeds 5-0  Good weather and fast surface could be good for the ton-up
Scottish .v. Hartpury 2-2 Two well-matched outfits, I predict a 22-22 draw

With even the round ball game's Isthmian league postponing fixtures this weekend, I'm a little surprised games are going ahead.

Hope everyone enjoys their Rugby this weekend and stays healthy.
