Hats off to Cov - a real thrashing and thank goodness they went off the boil a bit (no points after 46 mins) or could have been a cricket score. Visitors superior in every dept, some real bite to both their attack and defence. Will Butt's 4T apparently tied a club record, and the Reds late score was a very small consolation. Very contrasting emotions to the previous home game...

Can't argue with that. Excellent all round Coventry performance. Jersey started well and looked strong but gave way too many penalties in the early part of the game and with strong wind against them it gave easy field position for Coventry who took full advantage. The early second half score for Coventry took all the energy out of Jersey. Coventry defence was first class and the backs took their opportunities clinically. Oh well, nest week...

That's a very magnanimous appraisal. It was one of those days when everything stuck for Cov and things just didn't gel for Jersey. Despite some tremendous handling in attack it was in defence where we really stepped up from previous games, particularly at the breakdown. Now if we could just sort those lineouts...

Looking back at my predictions for this week and I feel quite chuffed. I said Ealing would win, but they wouldn't get 50 points. I was correct. I said Cornish Pirates would get 50 points but Hartpury could get 30. So 52-26 was as near as dammit. And I guessed Nottingham would get their First win. And they did.
Now normally I get these things totally wrong. Jersey to beat Coventry was an excellent example. What happened, Jersey? And well done, Coventry. It is therefore entirely logical that my fifth prediction will also be totally wrong. I am therefore changing my fifth prediction to Saracens 0-5 Ampthill. Why not...... |

Great first half by Pirates with six tries; an interception, penalty try from a scrum and 4 driving mauls from line outs. At least two other attacking line outs wasted with misdirected throws. Hartpury forwards seemed to lack heart.
Clearly the half time “talk” and some substitutions helped as Hartpury “won” the second half and got the bo us point with the last play after a succession of penalties. Pirates substitutions had the opposite effect as we became disjointed and lost the scrum dominance. That’s this very odd season over at the Mennaye.

Happy to do your legwork Kimbo, since you spanked us... 13 people tipped Jersey, while no-one actually predicted a Cov win, although a couple raised eyebrows at the tide of predictions towards the home side...

Cheers Islander. I was pretty sure it was something to nil. I never predict, it's a rule of mine, but I was fairly confident of the win, although not of it being quite so emphatic.
I'm not going to predict next week's result vs Sarries, and no, I'm not in the slightest confident

Jersey totally outplayed by the much better side today. Coventry's defence the best I've seen this season. In phase after phase of Jersey attacks in the second half , we went steadily backwards.And never looked like being capable of breaking through Coventry's line .
Really concerned about how easy it was for Coventry to run in three tries down their right flank. Jersey tackling practice required next week. And line out - we lost more on our own ball than I can remember for years. The ground was really quiet for much of the game when all we wanted was to see the Reds compete and turn up. Today has to be one of our poorest performances in the Championship
