Strong side, but Willis better stay healthy as the only fly half.

Bedford 5 - 0 Richmond ... Bedford are the form home side, so if the weather stays reasonable I am struggling to see anything other than a regulation Bedford win. Should it get wet and nasty, then Richmond's pack will be prowling.
Ampthill 1 - 4 Doncaster ... A tight game this I think. Both teams will go toe-to-toe, but Donny to sneak it for me.
Jersey 5 - 0 Hartpury ... Absolutely no pushover for the Reds. The Glos 2nds have been playing extremely well of late and they will come to Jersey full of confidence. However, Jersey have been in pretty decent form themselves and with a strong squad available i expect them to pull away from the bench....Could be a cracking game though.
Nottingham 0 - 5 Ealing ... Should (and I mean should) Ealing have an off day, Nottingham have all of the ammo available to them to win this one. Apart from the first few weeks of the season, it just hasn't happened for them though. However, if Ealing take a grip, then it could be another huge away win on the cards.
Coventry 5 - 0 Caldy ... Oh Caldy, such a breath of fresh air to the division, but on the Coventry plastic, I think that the game will be just a little too quick for you. Hopefully, a tighter game than your trip to the Island!!
London Scottish 0 - 5 Cornish Pirates ... Pirates have not always travelled well, but I really fancy them for this game (as do most I should imagine).

It was wet in Bedford on and off until about 4pm, but since the sun has been out with clear skies now. The ropes and super soakers will be out now drying the pitch up.
