Hartpury 4 vs 1 Nottingham - close match calling home advantage

Ampthill 5 vs 1 Cornish Pirates - Ampthill riding the crest of the wave

Doncaster Knights 5 vs 0 London Scottish - Bounce back after the Coventry humiliation

Ealing Trailfinders 5 vs 2 Coventry - match up of the week, Coventry going to make Ealing work hard

Bedford Blues 5 vs 1 Cambridge - Blues will have too much in the tank but Cambridge to get a Try bonus (perhaps)


Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

Hartpury 2 vs Nottingham 5  . .. could be very exciting lots of tries

Ampthill 4 vs Cornish Pirates 1 - Sarries 2nds to prevail

Doncaster Knights 5 vs London Scottish 0 - A bonus point depends on the number of Quins playing ( but experiment seems to be failing for Scottish!)

Ealing Trailfinders 5 vs Coventry 1 - Battle Royale

Bedford Blues 5 vs Cambridge 0 - Yes a big win at home

Caldy . . an expensive weekend with no 1ST XV rugby!!

Run with it

I am hopefully, optimistic that if Cov Rugby play & perform as per Doncaster, that might just mean Ealing have to perform rather more than by just working hard themselves.
Won there last season, why not now ! SmileTongueWink

No such thing this year as far as I can tell. A shame too, as it is a double header, and they could stream two matches with one crew.

Hartpury 1-5 Nottingham. The result here will see if Nottingham are really on the up.
Ampthill 5-2 Pirates. The As are full of confidence and if they win this one then it will send watch out signals to the rest of the Championship sides.
Doncaster 5-0 London Scottish. A home banker with Doncaster looking to set things right again after last week.
Ealing 5-1 Coventry. Another tough game for Coventry on the road. I think they might score four tries but I don't think they will be within 7 points of Ealing's total.
Bedford 5-0 Cambridge. A good crowd should witness this new local derby but I think the Bedford backs will run Cambridge ragged.
Always trying to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Cheers mate - last season's library seem to be still out there but you have to search for them:

Cov have lost prop Joe Jones to Scarlets.
That's unfortunate.
Would have been nice to keep him for just one more match.

Ealing Trailfinders to face Coventry Rugby: Strong squad. I don't think I'd change much here given who is available.Note - Rayn Smid is making his 150th appearance, a club record.

1 Will Goodrick-Clarke

2 Mike Willemse

3 Biyi Alo

4 Bobby de Wee

5 Andrew Davidson

6 Will Montgomery

7 Richard Hardwick

8 Rayn Smid

9 Craig Hampson

10 Craig Willis

11 Tom Collins

12 Billy Twelvetrees

13 Reuben Bird-Tulloch

14 Jonah Holmes

15 Cian Kelleher 

16 Matt Cornish

Hartpury 1-5 Nottingham - I don't believe that Hartpury can keep up with Nottingham's impressive backs.
Ampthill 1-4 Pirates - I have trouble picking amateur sides over professional sides.
Doncaster 5-0 London Scottish - Does Harlequins A count as a semi-pro side? Not sure. Who will turn up for them? Not sure. Do I think they'll lose...yes.
Ealing 5-1 Coventry - I'm interested to see which Ealing team shows up. We have some amazing backs, but lots of scores have been coming through the forwards. This should tell me if Ealing is more than just the sum of its parts.
Bedford 5-0 Cambridge - Bedford will introduce Cambridge to the magic and mystery of the slope.

Saints academy starting to be shared around.
Pollock and McParland very highly thought of apparently.
