Predictions:
Ampthill 1 - 4 Jersey Coventry 5 - 1 Cornish Pirates Ealing 5 - 0 Richmond Nottingham 0 - 5 Saracens Doncaster 4 - 1 Bedford Ealing and Sarries could run up massive scores this weekend, I fear for Nottingham against a full strength Sarries side, could be a very long afternoon. I think Jersey have got enough about them to pip Ampthill but it will be a one-score game. Coventry should beat Pirates who have had a form dip recently and have also got a long injury list. I think Donny will beat Bedford but I don’t think there’s that much between the two teams. Bedford will keep it close.

Ampthill 5 - 1 Jersey A's boosted by cracking result at Pirates, and at home? 6 tries to 4 Coventry 5 - 1 Cornish Pirates Expect a tight encounter, but Pirates to struggle on the road Ealing 5 - 0 Richmond Backlash from Trailfinders who have to win with bonus points now Nottingham 0 - 5 Saracens Could get messy, Notts wont fancy this one bit. Who would. Doncaster 5 - 1 Bedford Donny still in the hunt and back them to get a 5-pointer

Ampthill 1-4 Jersey - Both teams had good results at the weekend. Jersey starting to get players back from injury. Could go either way but going with Jersey who I think have a misleading table position.
Coventry 4-1 Pirates - Pirates carrying some injuries and losing momentum after flying start, so going with home advantage Ealing 5-0 Richmond - Banker and a slaughtering Nottingham 0-5 Saracens - This is not the week I predict Nottingham to win Doncaster 5-2 Bedford - Bedford looked good in the last game and I think are capable of winning this. Absolute must 5 points for Doncaster to set up a potential playoff decider against Ealing in their next game. I think they’ll just about manage it with the better pack.

Ampthill 1-4 Jersey - Ampthill massively impressed with their win over the weekend, although the Pirates have been devastated by injury. If this were in St. Peter, then I'd pick Jersey, but in the dell I'll plump for Ampthill.
Coventry 1-4 Pirates - Pirates to come back with fire after a rough previous week. Ealing 5-0 Richmond - At Vallis way, and with Ealing getting healthier, I expect another 50 pointer. Nottingham 0-5 Saracens - Cricket scores. I hope no one gets hurt. Doncaster 5-2 Bedford - Donnie bounced back nicely, and their younger squad seems to be coming along quite nicely. Bedford coming back rested, and I think they'll score some tries, but not enough to win.

Ampthill 2-5 Jersey - Although a 3-3 result long overdue this season
Coventry 2-4 Pirates - Pirates to score loads of pens but Cov get 4 tries. Ealing 5-0 Richmond - Now a must win and BP for Ealing but Mond will make them work for it Nottingham 4-1 Saracens - Stop laughing it could happen Doncaster 5-2 Bedford - The match to watch this week should be an absolute cracker but Donny need the win.

Ampthill 5-2 Jersey. Jersey are a proper Championship side, but so are Ampthill now. I predict a high-scoring and entertaining game which will make me a nervous wreck to watch.
Coventry 1-4 Cornish Pirates. I think the Pirates will have a sting in their tale after last week's defeat. Ealing 5-0 Richmond. An easy prediction for a big home win. Nottingham 0-5 Saracens. Another easy prediction but this time for a big away win. Doncaster 4-1 Bedford. I'm not sure why but I predict a scrappy win for the home side. |

I'd tend to agree with those predicting an Ealing rebound.
A couple of people have said that this weekend's game is 'must-win' for Ealing. In fact, as long as they were to beat Donny they'd be able to afford a loss against Richmond or Bedford and still be in top 2...

Ealing are without a doubt the best "Championship" side in this short season. Apart from last week's minor but predictable hiccup, they should continue to rack up the points in their remaining games. They could even finish top above Saracens if they keep getting the high scores.
It then depends on the availability of Saracen players for the play-offs. If they have their full compliment it will be Saracens by a good mile to go back up. But if they are missing their Lions then who knows. My guess is they will have their full compliment of internationals. |

Ampthill 2 - 5 Jersey: Jersey found their mojo Coventry 4 - 1 Cornish Pirates : The rumours of a Wasps takeover at Cov, like Northampton at Bedford. People could be playing for new contracts if thats true Doncaster 1 - 5 Bedford: Interesting one, if only for the fact Northampton do not have a game, so lets see how loaded Bedford are Ealing 5 - 0 Richmond Flat track bullies to run up a big score, they will not field a weaker team as the will remember what happened pre season when they sent the reserves over to play Richmond, Mond will be outclassed sorry to say! Nottingham 0 - 5 Saracens, This could turn very nasty, Saracens need all 5... |

You do know that the players have to be registered for Bedford, so they will still only be picking from the same crop of players.... Looking forward to this game though - always enjoy the Bedford game (more so on a flat even pitch).

You are aware of something called a "loan" which can be expedited with RFU registrations. It means that a player can be loaned and signed on loan by a club, not more than 2 levels from the mother club inside a 24 hour period. |

You’re absolutely right Scrumtime. Northampton are loaning us Courtney Lawes, Lewis Ludlam, Alex Mitchell and Dan Biggar for this one. Despite the fact it is a completely meaningless game for Bedford, Northampton are happy to risk injuries to some of their key players to ensure we win. Looking forward to the game
