Probably in wrong place but:
FIXTURES & PREDICTIONS Pool A Archers 4-1 Pury (Fri 15 Sept, 19:45)
Close home win Quins 2-5 Cov (Sat 16 Sept, 15:00) Should
be a brilliant game Sarries 5-2 Glaws (Sat 16 Sept, 14:00)
Could go either way Pool B Falcons 5-1 Blues (Fri 15 Sept, 19:45) Blues to get 4
try bonus Sharks 5-2 Tiggers (Fri 15 Sep, 19:45)
Another brilliant contest Caldy 5-2 Amps (Sat 16 Sept, 15:00) Could
go either way Pool C Bath 2-5 Jersey (Sat 16 Sept, 13:00, TNT SPORTS)
Stop laughing it might happen! Chiefs 1-4 Pirates (Sat 16 Sep, 15:00) Or a shed load of
Cornishmen would know the reason why. Pool C/D London Scottish 0-5 Donny (Sat 16 Sept,
15:00) Banker Donny going for it this year Pool D Bears 5-2 Ealing (Sun 17 Sept, 14:30)
Could be really close Saints 4-1 Blood & Sand (Sat 16 Sep, 15:00) Could go either way Edited by corporalcarrot - 11 Sep 2023 at 14:34 |

Bears v Ealing will depend a lot on Bristol's team. A full strength or near enough team from Bristol & it should be a top game, another kiddies team like this week and Ealing will romp to another win.
I personally doubt Cov will win away at Quins who will likely go a bit stronger this week than last. Jersey definitely could do Bath, but the Rec is a massive fortress & will be a factor in a tight game. Will Exeter let Pirates play their DRs against them? Serious question btw!

None of the Chiefs’ D/R/s played for the Pirates on Friday. I suspect we won’t see them until the League starts.

My predictions are 2 more prem scalps for Ealing (comfortably) and Cov (narrowly) and a Jersey win over Bath (by 7-14). All other prem vs champ will be comfortable wins for the prem team, either 5-0 or 5-1 with a losing try bonus.
More broadly, think those 3 are going to be a class above anyone else again this season. Cov will narrow the gap, but if Ealing don’t win the league comfortably I don’t understand how Ben Ward keeps his job. Edited by Bluesman11 - 12 Sep 2023 at 21:01 |

15 Kyle Moyle 14 Will Trewin 13 Matt McNab (23 Ioan Evans, 51) 12 Joe Elderkin 11 Arthur Relton, 10 Tom Pittman (22 Iwan Jenkins, 51) 9 Ruaridh Dawson (21 Alex Schwarz, 62); 1 Leftheri Zigiriadis (18 Jack Andrew, 51) 2 Morgan Nelson (16 Rhys Williams, 62) 3 Marlen Walker (17 Fin Richardson, 53) 4 Josh King (19 Steele Barker, 62) 5 Will Britton 6 John Stevens (captain; 20 Harry Dugmore, 54) 7 Will Gibson 8 Ben Grubb. I believe these in bold are all Exeter players on D/R? Though looking at it like that I doubt Exeter will withdraw them or they'd make loads of difference.

Nottingham 5-1 Hartpury ... Tight game this, but home advantage to prevail
Harlequins 2-4 Coventry ... Cov will be my surprise package for the season, both in the cup and the league. Very entertaining game, lots of points, Championship to mark their mark. Saracens 4-1 Gloucester ... Sarries to win a tight game. Newcastle 5-1 Bedford ... Bedford will give this a real go, but will ship too many points, despite scoring a few themselves. Sale 5-0 Leicester ... Sale will have more available to them than Tigers will. Caldy 5-2 Ampthill ... This could really go either way, but a great day of rugby in stall for those attending. No losers in this one!! Bath 1-4 Jersey ... Jersey will take this very seriously and could upset a poor Bath side. It will be close and could easily go either way. Exeter 5-0 Pirates ... Full house of travelling Cornishmen for this game, but i think that Exeter will prove to be a little too strong....I would love to be there though. London Scottish 0-5 Doncaster ... LS should get some points on the board, but it won't be enough. Donny by 3 or 4 scores Bristol 0-5 Ealing ... Will Bristol now begin to take this competition seriously? If they don't then ET will have an absolute field day. Northampton 5-0 Cambridge ... Saints will be too strong for the newbies I am afraid. |

Northampton's coach has said their usual pre season is 2 or 3 matches.
I take from that they will start to put out stronger sides from end of September onwards. Happy hunting to Cambridge!

Same Ealing side as last week with the exception of a couple of injury swaps, in particular Cornish coming into the starting line up. Pretty strong side, but would have liked to have seen a few of the newer signings such as Williams, Twelvetrees or Williams. Maybe they are injured, or maybe they are being held out of what is meant to be a developmental competition.
Bristol side also looks much stronger than the sacrificial lambs they put out against Exeter last weekend. Should be a good contest. I still think Ealing will edge it. Edited by gerg_861 - 15 Sep 2023 at 12:20 |

Nottingham 4-1 Hartpury - Homefield advantage Harlequins 1-4 Coventry - Why not? Saracens 4-1 Gloucester - Ealing signed all of Gloucesters good players. Newcastle 4-1 Bedford - Codling back in the Champ ;) Sale 1-4 Leicester - Leicester seem to be taking this semi-seriously. Caldy 4-1 Ampthill - as an Ealing fan, I believe Caldy can beat anyone at home. Bath 1-4Jersey - Bath looks to be putting out a youngish team again Exeter 5-1 Pirates - I wonder if this will be a sell out. Sure to be a great atmosphere. London Scottish 0-5 Doncaster - I can't believe in Scottish, even if they did escape the drop. Bristol 1-4 Ealing - Suspect this will be a belter, with Ealing just to pip it off the back of their experienced halfback combination. Northampton 5-0 Cambridge - one way traffic as I think Northampton will try a bit harder at home. |

I don't think any club will win the championship comfortably this season. As well as the three you identify Blues, Donny & Pirates are well capable of beating anyone on their day (particularly at home) and the rest can all cause an upset like Ravers did against Ealing last season. I think the stronger squads will regularly beat each other and no club will get anywhere near 100 points this time around.
