Bedford 0 - 5 Ealing  Ealing are just too strong, although playing at home gives Bedford the chance of some tries.
Cornish Pirates 5 - 0 Hartpury Home banker but who knows?
Jersey 5 - 2 Coventry The Jersey team that played Richmond I wouldn't back but they seem to have improved.
Richmond 4 - 1 Nottingham Depends on who's picked for Mond. The rotation policy means that the best players sometimes aren't picked. If Mond gel they'll score four tries.
Saracens 5 - 0 Ampthill  Nuff said.

Ealing team to face Bedford at 1945 on Friday at Goldington Road: There's a lot to like here with the return of several injured players such as Bobby De Wee and Pat Howard. However I'm really puzzled by the Max Northcote-Green addition, as we just had Malon Al-Jiboori signed for the last game and he played well. Seems bizarre, like only using Bill Johnston for one match. Also curious about Craig Willis not being in the squad, but perhaps this is just rotation to let Shingler get game time after his injury early in the season.
1. James Gibbons 2. Shaun Malton 3. Lewis Thiede 4. Bobby De Wee 5. James Cannon 6. Max Northcote-Green 7.Simon Uzokwe 8. Rayn Smid 9. Craig Hampson 10. Steven Shingler 11 Angus Kernohan 12. Pat Howard 13. Max Bodilly 14. Charlie Walker 15. David Johnston
 
16. Michael Van Vuuren 17. Will Davis 18. Kyle Whyte 19. Harry Casson 20. Kieran Murphy 21. Jordan Burns 22. Luke Daniels 23. Guy Thompson.

6 forwards on the bench for Ealing... looks like we know what is coming! Ealing are going to be too strong in the forwards for us.

starting XV: 

15. Rich Lane (C), 14. Pat Tapley, 13. Tom Litchfield (DR), 12. Oskar Hirskyj-Douglas, 11. Matt Worley, 10. Will Maisey, 9. Connor Tupai (DR); 1. Emmanuel Iyogun (DR), 2. Jacob Fields, 3. Ed Prowse (DR), 4. Will Carrick Smith, 5. Jordan Onojaife, 6. JJ Tonks (DR - debut), 7. Joe Atkinson, 8. Tui Uru (DR)

Replacements: 

16. Jack Hughes (DR), 17. Sean McCarthy, 18. Henry Paul, 19. Oli Curry, 20. Ollie Newman (DR), 21. James Lennon, 22. Ethan Grayson (DR - home debut), 23. Elijah Niko

For Blues, Newman has been one of the standout players so surprised he is on the bench. Niko has just come back from injury.

I see Alex Goode has returned to the Saracens camp in time for the last three Championship games. They are obviously well concerned about the threat from the mighty Ampthill this coming Monday. Perhaps they should try and find a few additional Lions to sign over the weekend. They might even want to poach some of the Ampthill players! Always best to play safe.

The Premiership season (excepting playoffs) should be done by the Championship playoff final. I wonder if the non-Saracens team will be able to 'call back' any 'loan' players. I'm hoping Ealing or Doncaster reveal that they've dual registered Louis Rees Zammit or Dan Biggar.  (I jest of course).

the Prem PO semi-finals are on 18/19 June. Bristol will be involved, so would want to keep Malins & Earl, not sure which other players from clubs outside top 4 might be eligible to return?

Ealing 7 (1T) - Bedford 0 - 7' - Bodilly pushed over the line after a bit of back and forth play and a Kernohan break down the side.

Ealing 14 (2T) - Bedford 0 - 12' - Bedford did a manful job of stopping an Ealing rolling maul, but Hampson was able to spin it out wide to Pat Howard, who beat one man to get over the line.

Ealing 21 (3T) - Bedford 5 (1T) - 29' - Pat Tapley dives into the corner for a try after Bedford get a 5 meter line out from a silly restart penalty on Ealing (man taken in the air).

Ealing 21 (3T) - Bedford 12 (2T) - 40' - Pat Tapley scores under the posts after 3 or 4 beautiful offloads. Ealing have looked dire in the last 15 minutes, messing up 4 line outs, and getting half a dozen stupid penalties. Bedford have a huge amount of momentum.

Thanks Gerg, sounds like HT may come at a good time for the leaders...

Ealing down the slope have been clinical but I would say Blues have certainly had more chances to be ahead.
