We’d have won if we’d kicked the kicks! And stopped the inevitable deluge of rolling mauls of course but that’s standard. Much close than the predictor league expected

Cov down to 14 now, with a Peters YC for a high tackle. Scots taking advantage for their second try.

Excellent game management from Ealing (not often I’ll say that!). Line out misfired all match, dominated in the scrum, but great defence - Jersey maul gained precisely zero metres and zero points. Sets up a cracking Christmas Eve clash.

And we hadn’t scored 5 tries to your 2, and we hadn’t missed 3 kicks at goal. But yes, it was a good game, and perhaps you did deserve a bonus point. We played a tactical game - we knew that we could best you up front, and we did. The backs were much more evenly matched and you have some quality back there. It will be interesting on the return fixture back at yours. The cup has been more about us giving opportunities to players on the fringe, academy hopefuls and some players returning from long term injuries a go. Back to league fixtures in 2 weeks for us

So, halfway point of the group stage.
Donny, Pirates & Ealing 3/3. Everyone else has one win, except Jersey (2) & Nottingham (0). What chance of any of the pool leaders being displaced? Pirates (15pts) are 9pts clear of nearest rivals + have two home games in rds 4/5 - would be a surprise if they didn't win those and qualify with a game to spare. Donny (also on 15, with a lead of 9) have a run-in that looks harder, with both Cov and Blues away, but could afford to lose one of those. Ealing (14, 4 clear of Reds) travel to Jersey in the next round for what looks the decisive game. Not sure how easy it was, but saw Reds missed a 75th min penalty yesterday, which would probably have brought a BP. Wonder if that could be crucial? I suppose there was the small consolation of being first side in 10 games this season to stop ET scoring 4 tries. But for now - after a week off - we return to the league. Round 8 has some tasty match-ups to, with Cov/Donny, Pirates/Ealing and Exiles/Caldy all standing out...

This could see Ealing needing to go on the road for semi and final even if (and a big if) they win out.
