Predictions
Hartpury 4 - 1 Coventry - close game, two decent teams Cornish Pirates 5 - 0 Ampthill - At the Mennaye only one winner Jersey 5 - 0 Nottingham - Finally a proper home game for the Reds and they’ll take full advantage of it. Richmond 1 - 4 Doncaster - I think today will have taken it’s toll on Donny physically so I expect a close game here. Saracens 5 - 2 Ealing - Sarries will nick this but Ealing will show how good a side they are. Saracens will be on notice after this match.

Predictions Hartpury 1 - 4 Coventry - I think Coventry nick this one at the death Cornish Pirates 5 - 0 Ampthill - Ampthill can score on Hartpury, but I think Pirates are another step up too far. Jersey 5 - 0 Nottingham - The cow bells will be ringing to bring the lads home on this one. Richmond 4 - 1 Doncaster - I'm going to predict a Sarries hangover on a long away trip for Donny. Saracens 2 - 5 Ealing - I'm predicting that Farrell picks up a red card for a high tackle, and Sarries then allow Ealing to slip a few late tries through. Much depends on how many of the Ealing first choice are available. Bill Johnston was very good as an injury fill in, but Craig Willis can unlock defenses in a very special way with his ability to kick from hand. |

Hartpury 1-5 Coventry. Provided it is a fine sunny day I think this could be another try fest but with Coventry getting the edge.
Cornish Pirates 5-1 Ampthill. It breaks my heart to predict this but Ampthill never throw in the towel so I can see them scoring 4 tries. Jersey 5-0 Nottingham. An actual home game for Jersey, and this is just not Nottingham's season. Richmond 4-1 Doncaster. Doncaster have started well but their wins were never emphatic. I can see them losing this one. Saracens 5-2 Ealing. But I have absolutely no idea really. I would love Ealing to succeed but...... |

Predictions
Hartpury 4 - 1 Coventry Cornish Pirates 5 - 0 Ampthill - Pirates have an injury crisis in the backs, but hopefully will have enough to do the job. Jersey 5 - 0 Nottingham Richmond 1 - 4 Doncaster Saracens 5 - 2 Ealing - love to see Ealing do this, but Sarries will probably edge it.

'There'll be spectators at the Reds v Nottingham game this w/e' Great news for the Jersey club and those attending. However I wonder how it will affect those games being streamed. I imagine there has to be a minimum number of paying customers for the clubs not to lose money on the streaming and with most of the home crowd able to now attend I would think it will be tough to get to that required minimum. |

This post is clearly made in jest but the disturbing thought is that it would be far from difficult to coach a player to pick up and drive off the back of a ruck or maul leading with their head directly at a fly half rather than targeting his soft shoulder. Ealing are far better than that and although I also hope they beat Sarries I hope both sides keep 15 on the pitch throughout.

Hartpury 5 - 2 Coventry - hard one to call but expect plenty of scores Cornish Pirates 5 - 0 Ampthill - Pirates should take this comfortably, still in with a sniff of the play-off. Amps don't travel well Jersey 5 - 0 Nottingham - Notts won't fancy this at all and Reds will put in a show in the sunshine Richmond 1 - 4 Doncaster - Predictable result against Sarries but Knights will still have enough momentum to put Richmond away Saracens 5 - 0 Ealing - Want to be wrong - but Sarries to make a statement, they cannot afford to lose and open up the door for Donny.

Stop teasing me you little minx ... the thought of Donnie and Ealing in the play offs turns me all all a quiver

Pury 2-2 Coventry Too close to call but
4-1 either way more likely Pirates 5-0 Amps A must 5 pointer for
Pirates Jersey 5-2 Nottingham I hope TO BE THERE
& SEE both teams play out of their skins, score 4 tries each, keep 15 players on the pitch for the full 80 and Jersey win
with the last move of the match Mond 2-5 Doncaster Two well
matched teams but Donny need the win Sarries 3-3 Ealing -Hope I'm wrong as this would
essentially kill the league as a contest |

CC - do you predict at least one draw every week? Have you ever got it right?

The first high tackle of the game on Sunday came from.......you guessed it Mr Owen Farrell and it could have easily been a yellow - although I do not believe for one second there was any malice intended. I does like to go high up the chest (Rugby League style)

Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

Would it? It would mean Ealing (33pts if this result came to pass) would almost certainly be uncatchable, but since the league is about finishing in the top two to reach the PO, it could be pretty interesting below that. Donny might reasonably hope to get a win at Richmond and move to 26pts, with Pirates likely to get max points at home to Amps, that would mean: 2. Donny 26 3. Pirates 25 4. Sarries 23 and a game-in-hand That would still leave Sarries probably having to win their last 4 games and vulnerable to be knocked out of contention if they were to slip up... so still quite a bit of interest I'd say
