Cornish remain still nicely tapped into Cardiff rugby.

I'd love to know what folk are basing all these predictions on.
Not knowing squat about the opposition's strengths is one reason I don't indulge in guessing games - even more so for the first game in an unknown competition. But if it keeps people happy... dip yer bread in.

It is just for fun, nothing more, nothing less. And when I am proven wrong I can have a laugh about it.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s game against Cambridge who we have only played once before. That was in the late 1990’s when we won fairly comfortably at home in the RFU Intermediate Cup. Can anyone remember what was unique about that game?. I’ll post the answer next week,

Bath is a curious one - their website shows they have fixed up a friendly v Edinburgh, away, on evening of Fri 6 Oct, altho' they are also due to host Exeter in Prem Cup that w/e (Bath site says 'tbc' for that game, Exeter list it as Sat at 2pm)

Who knows? Maybe Hartpury or Ampthill? Cambridge and Nottingham an outside bet? (From a Chicken of the Woods).

Cov vs Sarries is one to ponder.
Certainly Sarries are the strongest out there, even sans internationals - but it entirely depends on whether they decide to go for it and field their strongest available side. Whatever, Cov shouldn't lack for motivation.

With the team Sale have put out, I will be disappointed if Bedford don’t turn them over.

Caldy may be treating their match as another pre season warm up with possibly a mixture of Colts/2nd xv and 1st xv bench players being given a bit of a run out

Cov team: https://www.coventryrugby.co.uk/pellegrini-returns-for-coventry-rugbys-cup-opener/
Probably about as strong a side as they could put out.

A very strong Ealing team, with a few new players debuting. Strangest is seeing Bruce Houston from Edinburgh on the bench as injury cover at fly half. Must be a horrible run of injuries as we had several on the books.
Full strength Ealing should put this Northampton team to the sword. Edited by gerg_861 - 08 Sep 2023 at 12:58 |
