Hartpury 5 - 0 London Scottish 
Ampthill 0 - 4 Jersey
Cornish Pirates 5 - 0 Nottingham
Ealing 5 - 0 Coventry
Richmond 1 - 5 Bedford
For the ordinary purposes of conversation, a superficial knowledge of many things goes further than an intimacy with one or two.

In Nick's case, he can just laugh behind his hand at most of the rest of us, and get on with his life exactly as he wishes to.

Hartpury 5 - 0 London Scottish - Yes I can see this being a significant scoreline

Ampthill 4 - 1 Jersey Reds - This should be a great game, very close, Amps have brought in a few key additions .  . car sales obviously booming!!!

Cornish Pirates 5 - 0 Nottingham - Yes a long trip for Notts, CP so strong at home

Ealing 5 - 0 Coventry - Which Ealing turn up? Coventry improving all the time, so will give Ealing a good run for their money.

Richmond 5 - 2 Bedford - No idea with this fixture, lots of points for sure but could go either way.

Ps I think N Hughes playing for Hartpury just pointless . . Hartpury cannot get relegated they have 9 senior mens teams so surely it would be of more benefit to promote one of their youngsters? It seems farcial to me . . are they covering Mr Hughes huge salary? Unless of course Hughes sees Hartpury as his next career move, I think not!

Hartpury 5 - 0 London Scottish - Really, Nathan Hughes? Seriously?
Ampthill 4 - 1 Jersey - The Red's form has seemed to taper off recently, so I'll go with the A's at home.
Cornish Pirates 5 - 0 Nottingham - Nottingham have improved over the course of the year, but not enough to take down Pirates at home.
Ealing 5 - 0 Coventry - I like the Ealing team being put out this week. Interesting to see Willis paired with Hampson for the first time in many moons. Last home game was 4TH OF DECEMBER. Very keen to go.
Richmond 5 - 1 Bedford - Richmond to defend the RAG in an all-homer prediction week for me.

Could just be that Bristol want Hughes to get some game time?

Hartpury         5 - 0 London Scottish cannot see any other result LS were poor against us

 

Ampthill         1 - 4 Jersey Reds tricky one not sure

 

Cornish Pirates  5 - 0 Nottingham.  Pirates have to win in style   

 

Ealing           5 - 0 Coventry cannot see any other result Kimbo might know better

 

Richmond         5 - 1 Bedford 36-36 each with 1 draw Mond to make it 37

For a moment I felt a surge of optimism as I read the Coventry press release accompanying the team list for Saturday. Only four changes following the brutal game against Hartpury! Then I saw the detail. Four starting changes (2 of them season-ending injuries to first choice  players), and a further six changes on the bench. One new player I've never heard of, several returns, mainly from being dropped, rather than from injuries.
Not the team that would be chosen to take to Ealing. It looks like we'll need a full 80 minutes from Phil Boulton again this week.

'No' better?
Probably.
Given the side announced, no better than we did at home, and probably a fair bit worse.

Very late predictions this week:
Hartpury 5 v 0 London Scottish - Comfortable home win
Ampthill 1 v 4 Jersey - a very tight game but think Jersey should edge it
Cornish Pirates 5 v 0 Nottingham - In Penzance don’t see any joy for the away team - as per usual 
Ealing 5 v 0 Coventry - Ealing haven’t been their usual dominant selves in recent weeks but I would expect them to dominate this one. An upset would be welcome, though!.
Richmond 5 v 1 Bedford - Totally depends on which Bedford shows up. That’s hard to predict a lot of the time!. Having won the reverse fixture I fancy Richmond to upset the odds again.
