Well next weekend we’re into 2022. These are the games, hopefully we can get most of them played. Some very tasty looking games on this card.
Saturday 1st January 2022: Ampthill v London Scottish - 2pm Doncaster v Bedford - 2.30pm Hartpury v Nottingham - 2.30pm Ealing v Cornish Pirates - 3pm Richmond v Coventry - 3pm |

Predictions:
Ampthill 5 v 0 London Scottish - Amps usually do well in games like this at home. Can’t see that changing. Doncaster 5 v 2 Bedford - What a game this could be. Our home record will be massively tested by an excellent Bedford side. I think the Knights will just edge it but it’s a genuine 50-50 game for me. I expect a try-fest. Hartpury 5 v 0 Nottingham - If this gets played I can’t see anything but a convincing home win, Hartpury have been good at home this season. Ealing 5 v 1 Cornish Pirates - This is the game of the season so far. My heart says Pirates but my head says on the fast pitch at Vallis Way Ealing might just have too much firepower. Surely this game has to be streamed?!. Richmond 4 v 1 Coventry - At home I think Mond will do the business against an inconsistent Coventry side.

Ampthill 4-0 London Scottish. Ampthill should get the win but LS are improving so I am not expecting a try fest.
Doncaster 5-0 Bedford. The weather will play its part here. If it is wet then Doncaster will grind out a bonus point win . Hartpury 5-0 Nottingham. A comfortable home win whatever the weather. Ealing 5-0 Cornish Pirates. I expect Ealing to score at least four tries at home with the Pirates possibly getting one or two. Richmond 4-1 Coventry. The home side to edge a victory against an under strength Coventry. |

Maybe, just maybe, they will be slightly stronger by then, IF the eight 'isolators' are through with their protocols, and no more succumb to the dreaded ping. The DoR also hints that a few of the walking wounded will be sorted 'during the next month' so maybe (agin) one or two of those will figure, so perhaps not quite so under strength. We'll see.

Let’s hope AMAP of these games can take place. Well done to the 3 clubs able to host games yesterday & commiserations to those who couldn’t - it’s a tricky time and while good protocols are important, you also need some good fortune.
Believe this is current state-of-play regarding Covid postponements: 2 games: Hartpury, Richmond, Nottingham & Pirates 1 game: Jersey & Ealing None: Scottish, Donny, Cov, Ampthill & Blues There are three official reserve weekends: 1st w/e Feb, 1st w/e Mar & last w/e Mar.

And of course there are no matches yet confirmed as scheduled after 19th March. My expectation is still that the RFU will cancel any cup competition, to complete the league, and to 'stress test' any clubs that rely on supporter receipts into insolvency. All part of removing a professional 2nd tier. |

Saturday 1st January 2022: Ampthill v London Scottish - 4-1 - I can't bring myself to back Scottish after seeing a century put on them. Doncaster v Bedford - 5-0 Donny in rare form, especially at home this year. Blues played very well at home against Jersey, but I'm not sure I can see them getting 4 break through tries. Hartpury v Nottingham - 4-1 - I'm just picking the home side. Ealing v Cornish Pirates - 5-1 - At Vallis Way, and with a lot of players able to get healthy after a 3 week break, I'm thinking that Ealing will put up a lot of points. However, they always seem to forget about the table and leak some garbage time tries. Richmond v Coventry - 4-1 - Picking home team again.

Amps 4-1 Scottish Two well matched teams but at home I go with Amps
Donny 5-2 Blues - Should be a classic Donny by 5 tries to 4 Pury 1-4 Nottingham I think Notts will pinch it by 3-5 points Ealing 4-1 Pirates - Could go either way but I go with Ealing which should give Pirates every chance Mond 2-2 Cov Spin a coin to separate these although 4-1 either way more likely have a great New Year all - Any games streamed this weekend?

Ampthill 5-1 Scottish Home advantage
Donny 5-1 Blues - Close call . . again home advantage Hartpury 5-1 Nottingham - Home advantage . . . Ealing 5-0 Pirates - A battle royale . . . on the plastic with Ealing having a point to prove - But postponed!!!!!!! Mond 0-5 Cov - Cov getting players back and playing better and full time pros!! Richmond have not trained for a while, they have injury issues and have lost one of the DRs back to Quins! But on their day Richmond could beat anyone!!! Wishing all on here a very Happy New Year with lots of fun and exciting rugby :-)

? So having a sugar daddy is more important than a community supported business? Or am I misunderstanding you?

The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

Ampthill 5-1 London Scottish Don't think the Ampts will be too challenged for this one
Doncaster 5-2 Bedford Fixture of the weekend going to be a cracker Hartpury 5-0 Nottingham Just don't see much from Nottingham Ealing P-P Pirates Would have been the fixture of the weekend Richmond 2-5 Coventry Coventry recovering and this could be the day for the result

Richmond v Coventry postponed.
Looks like an outbreak at Cov following last week's 8 player isolation. Statement from Coventry covers closure of player training facilities at the BPA to allow a deep clean. Update. It looks as if the article has been taken down, possibly for an edit.
