Scottish 1 v 5 Coventry - Coventry should win but I think Scottish are a bogey team for Coventry, so almost went the other way 
Nottingham 5 v 2 Cornish Pirates - Think this could go either way, but Nottingham tend to start strong and then fall away
Doncaster Knights 5 v 2 Ampthill - Knights to win, but Ampthill could surprise Knights if they are off their game
Bedford Blues 5 v 1 Caldy - Should be a high scoring game with Blues going to sleep to let some late Caldy tries in
Cambridge 4 v 1 Chinnor - Could go either way, going with home advantage and now Championship experience and could be an important match at the bottom end of the table
Ealing Trailfinders 5 v 0 Hartpury - virtually all Ealing matches should be 5 - 0

No need to include me in the Prediction league assuming it is running, as I usually end up missing many weeks!

For the ordinary purposes of conversation, a superficial knowledge of many things goes further than an intimacy with one or two.

Cov won five of their last six league meetings, so not really what I'd class as our bogey team.
Having said that, Old Gold is probably the closest so far...

I was more thinking away from home but may have had the wrong impression.

Apparently the RFU have instructed Doncaster to wear their change strip because of a clash with Amptill?  Shouldn't it be the away team who changes.

Just found out it's because both Amptill strips are too much of a clash with Donny's home strip.

I thought the home team changes, think of it as your main and change kit. the home team has access to all their kit, and the expectation is the travelling team would bring 1 kit, their main kit, then in the event of a clash the home team have the ability to change, hence you would typically see the home team in their change kit. That's how I think it works/should work, but I am sure others more in the know will correct me if I am wrong!

Obviously, as you added, there can be some teams where both kits clash, then there needs to be some further planning to mitigate that!
