Pool A
Pury 2-3 Archers - Too close to call more likely 5-2 either way Trailfinders 2-5 Jersey Should be a banker home win for the strongest squad in the league but I reserve my prediction until I see the teams selected - Hoping to see some old mates from Ealing and even Mond & McQuin supporters along to see this one - surely the tie of the round Prediction added after teams announced. Pool B Knights 5-0 Blues The real current form team at home so should be a Donny win by 15 points Cov 5-1 McQuins Home advantage should be enough, but Exiles are finding form Pool C Mond 5-1 Caldy Two well matched sides but at the RAG Mond to take it Pirates 4-1 Amps Home advantage should be enough for Pirates Edited by corporalcarrot - 18 Nov 2022 at 12:32 |

Pool A
Hartpury 1-5 Nottingham On a true vein of form Ealing 2-5 Jersey Clash of the Titans Pool B Knights 5-0 Bedford Should do enough to close out the pool stages Coventry 4-1 London Scottish I think this will either be a try fest or a close wrestle (going with close at a guess) Pool C Richmond 4-1 Caldy Hoping Caldy does the business but calling home advantage Pirates 4-1 Ampthill Pirates hard to determine what is happening there so calling a close one but could be home banker 5-0

Pool A
Hartpury 1-5 Nottingham … Nottingham to have a good win here, but I think that Hartpury will run in 4 tries again. ET 4 Jersey 1 … The first of 4 titanic matches between these 2 this season. With a rest week coming up I expect both sides to leave it all out there. I’m going with home advantage, but discipline will decide this. My heart says big away win, but it’s just too close to call. Pool B Doncaster 5-0 Bedford … On current form you have to go with Donny at home and I expect them to dominate up front. Coventry 5-1 LS … LS are improving, but I think that Cov will have too much for them. A TBP is on the cards though Pool C Richmond 5-1 Caldy … One for the rugby romantics. I can see a tight, high scoring, entertaining game. Mond to secure it in the final quarter CP 5-0 Ampthill… Pirates have found some firm and I think that they will continue with their perfect start to the competition. |

So the big question is, can you get from Ealing to HQ in about 30/40 mins on match day? |

Perhaps not on a match if you are travelling on public transport. Bus to Ealing Broadway......District Line, change at Turnham Green and then you have the option at Richmond of train or rugby bus to HQ. The other thing to note are road works on the M4 between junction 1 & 3, which even if you are not planning to use, are causing delays in the area. Sorry if this sounds pessimistic, but good luck with your travel arrangements

I can in my helicopter if air traffic control gives clearance
 alternatively "RUN" very fast or pray the roads are empty as it takes 30 minutes ordinarily

Problem solved
But I think I must be a bit stupid because even with the team sheets, I still can't work out who the 'sibling' is |

Team selection made and two cracking sides. Trailfinders have an embarrassment of riches at half back and back row and are probably the most likely team whose starting front five could compete with Jersey at the moment. At home in front of their partisan fans Ealing will be strongly fancied but with my one-eyed insular view I think Jersey have a great front row bench who would start in almost any other championship team and if they keep it tight in the first half should finish strongly. I think both teams are well capable of scoring 4 tries tomorrow and I hope both team's discipline allow the referee to keep everyone on the pitch for the full 80 minutes. I predict a 5-8 point margin between the teams at the end and although it could go either way I will hope for a Jersey win and will edit my earlier post accordingly. Howay Jersey.

One of our players is dating Tom (and Ben) Curry's sister... Good luck to them and anyone else looking to do the Vallis Way - Twickenham transfer. There should be about 1hr 45min between games, so you'd hope it'd be feasible
