Pool A
Pury 2-3 Archers - Too close to call more likely 5-2 either way 
Trailfinders 2-5 Jersey Should be a banker home win for the strongest squad in the league but I reserve my prediction until I see the teams selected - Hoping to see some old mates from Ealing and even Mond & McQuin supporters along to see this one - surely the tie of the round Prediction added after teams announced.

Pool B
Knights 5-0 Blues The real current form team at home so should be a Donny win by 15 points
Cov 5-1 McQuins Home advantage should be enough, but Exiles are finding form

Pool C
Mond 5-1 Caldy Two well matched sides but at the RAG Mond to take it
Pirates 4-1 Amps Home advantage should be enough for Pirates

Pool A
Hartpury 1-5 Nottingham  On a true vein of form
Ealing 2-5 Jersey Clash of the Titans

Pool B
Knights 5-0 Bedford Should do enough to close out the pool stages
Coventry 4-1 London Scottish I think this will either be a try fest or a close wrestle (going with close at a guess)

Pool C
Richmond 4-1 Caldy Hoping Caldy does the business but calling home advantage
Pirates 4-1 Ampthill Pirates hard to determine what is happening there so calling a close one but could be home banker 5-0
Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

Pool A
Hartpury 1-5 Nottingham … Nottingham to have a good win here, but I think that Hartpury will run in 4 tries again.
ET 4 Jersey 1 … The first of 4 titanic matches between these 2 this season. With a rest week coming up I expect both sides to leave it all out there. I’m going with home advantage, but discipline will decide this. My heart says big away win, but it’s just too close to call.

Pool B
Doncaster 5-0 Bedford … On current form you have to go with Donny at home and I expect them to dominate up front.
Coventry 5-1 LS … LS are improving, but I think that Cov will have too much for them. A TBP is on the cards though

Pool C
Richmond 5-1 Caldy … One for the rugby romantics. I can see a tight, high scoring, entertaining game. Mond to secure it in the final quarter
CP 5-0 Ampthill… Pirates have found some firm and I think that they will continue with their perfect start to the competition.

So the big question is, can you get from Ealing to HQ in about 30/40 mins on match day?

Perhaps not on a match if you are travelling on public transport. Bus to Ealing Broadway......District Line, change at  Turnham Green and then you have the option at Richmond of train or rugby bus to HQ.

The other thing to note are road works on the M4 between junction 1 & 3, which even if you are not planning to use, are causing delays in the area.

Sorry if this sounds pessimistic, but good luck with your travel arrangements Smile

I can in my helicopter if air traffic control gives clearance Ermm alternatively "RUN" very fast or pray the roads are empty as it takes 30 minutes ordinarily

Easy mate. One of the players is going straight from the ground after the game with his better half who has a sibling playing in the match. A cab leaving at 4pm will get you there in 30/40 mins. Ealing have always been helpful in booking these for me in the past.

Problem solved Smile But I think I must be a bit stupid because even with the team sheets, I still can't work out who the 'sibling' is

Team selection made and two cracking sides. Trailfinders have an embarrassment of riches at half back and back row and are probably the most likely team whose starting front five could compete with Jersey at the moment. At home in front of their partisan fans Ealing will be strongly fancied but with my one-eyed insular view I think Jersey have a great front row bench who would start in almost any other championship team and if they keep it tight in the first half should finish strongly. I think both teams are well capable of scoring 4 tries tomorrow and I hope both team's discipline allow the referee to keep everyone on the pitch for the full 80 minutes. I predict a 5-8 point margin between the teams at the end and although it could go either way I will hope for a Jersey win and will edit my earlier post accordingly. Howay Jersey.

One of our players is dating Tom (and Ben) Curry's sister...

Good luck to them and anyone else looking to do the Vallis Way - Twickenham transfer. There should be about 1hr 45min between games, so you'd hope it'd be feasible
