As there are only two teams left I have started a poll but allow replies so that you can predict a score or winning margin.

I predict a narrow Jersey win by 4 points even though at home Ealing must be odds on. I've booked flights and hope those nice people at Ealing decide on a 2pm or 2.30pm kick off so that I can get back to LHR for the return.

At home, with slightly better selection than on the island, I am taking Ealing by 7.

This Jersey team are totally blowing me away at the moment and I think that they are so up for this that they are capable of beating Ealing on a desert. However, Ealing must be hurting and will be looking to make a point and secure some silverware this season.
Jersey by 1 or 100, I don’t care, but Jersey to win!!
Tackle Low!!!!!

I know that it is possibly too soon to confirm, but I’m guessing that it will be streamed?

You'd hope so, it is being discussed... & would probably be shown in clubhouse if the discussions are fruitful

Pity that it appears that the final quarter will probably overlap with the start of the first Premiership semi-final. Yet another event in a brewery that the RFU couldn’t organise.

That is the key problem of having them on the same day, when the timing of the Premiership semi was agreed in advance, and the Championship final is decided by airline timetables.

Of course, a little pre-planning would have known what the options for Jersey were.

But we do not need to worry for next season, as we do not have a Championship cup.

That's the semi-final involving the Cheats so isn't worth bothering with.

Quite tricky to pre-plan when, prior to Friday evening, there were 8 different permutations covering the 2 teams in the final and the location at which it would be played. And only 3 working days (or 2 in Jersey thanks to Liberation Day) before the visiting team would be setting off. As I've mentioned before, back-to-back rounds of a KO competition are a 'king nightmare!

Think you howayed the wrong people CC; it's very tricky for a visiting team to set up a decent stream if the host club & organising body decline to do so...

Although the Reds are suffering a few end of season injuries, this is still a very strong side and I think that the game will be won/lost for either side out wide tomorrow.
Really sorry to see those who are leaving go, but we can only wish them well. All smashing lads who have played their part in an incredible season. A special shout out to TJ Harris. He has been superb over the 4 seasons that he has spent with us and hopefully he can leave with 2 winners medals hanging around his neck. You will get a few beers bought for you next season when you visit with your new club.

I accept the rebuke mate. I'm one of the lucky few who managed to get flights so if BA do their stuff tomorrow I'll be there but its still a huge pity it couldn't be streamed for the rest of the supporters. The game will no doubt be televised anyway for disciplinary purposes and shown on the big screens in the bar at Ealing so its surprising that a live stream option couldn't be set up. Pirates managed it for the Semi-final in Penzance last week so it strikes me that if the will is there it can happen.

Presumably not back home as we seem to be ok for hookers.
