Round 16

I have a horrible feeling that there may be some disruption to this week’s fixtures. Hopefully not, but fair play to those who brave the weather and attend the games that are played.
Any early warnings from any club yet?
Jersey are away at Donny, which must be on the list of ‘concern’?

My guess:

Hartpury 1 - 5 Bedford 

Cornish Pirates 5 - 2 Coventry 

Richmond 1 - 4 Nottingham 

Doncaster 1 - 5 Jersey (it hurts to say this but the knights form is not great of late)

Caldy 4 - 1 Ampthill

Ealing 5 - 0 London Scottish

Hartpury 1 - 4 Bedford 

Cornish Pirates 4 - 1 Coventry 

Richmond 4 - 1 Nottingham 

Doncaster 1 - 4 Jersey

Caldy 4 - 1 Ampthill

Ealing 5 - 0 London Scottish

Or Osprey’s Res V Quinn’s Res

Hartpury 5 - 2 Bedford  - Loads of tries  . . great fun

Cornish Pirates 5 - 2 Coventry  - Home advantage

Richmond 0 - 5 Nottingham  - Mond struggling with injuries and lots of untried combinations

Doncaster 1 - 5 Jersey - Red hitting purple patch

Caldy 5 - 1 Ampthill - This should be a great battle  . . Caldy pack to win the day

Ealing 5 - 0 London Scottish - Hopefully

Hartpury 4 - 1 Bedford ... Bedford are on fire at the moment, but I don't think that they will like the conditions, or the trip for that matter. A tight game, but Hartpury to win it in the warmth of the forwards.
Cornish Pirates 4 - 0 Coventry ... If the forecast is correct, this could be a real slog of a game. Cov will not like that one bit. Pirates to chip, chip, chip away and win a hard fought game.
Richmond 4 - 1 Nottingham ... This could be a really good game and have to go for home win.
Doncaster 1 - 4 Jersey ... On a bright, warm day this would be 0-5. A heavy, cold pitch and we could be looking at a 2-2 again! However, I trust those Knights in the know and I think that it will be another close encounter, on a bitterly cold day with decent conditions underfoot. So a very very close away win is what my hear tells me.
Caldy 4 - 1 Ampthill ... Some game this. I would like to think that Caldy will not let last week's mauling get to them and that they will have learnt from the experience. If that is the case, then a really close home win, but with lots of fun, twists and turns....I would go for 5-2 with more favourable weather.
Ealing 5 - 0 London Scottish ... No weather problems here. Actually, no problem at all. ET to increase their lead in the league I feel.

Jersey are away at Donny, which must be on the list of ‘concern’? No chance of the game being off, have faith in the quality pitch, frost covers and best ground keeping staff in the league.
