Cup 3rd Round Predictions, Fixtures etc

Probably in the wrong place but e&oe:

FIXTURES & PREDICTIONS

Pool A

Sarries 5-0  Archers (Sat 23 Sept, 14:00) Banker home win

Pury 1-5 Cov (Sat 23 Sept, 14:30) Cov are going for this one

Glaws 5-2 Quins (Fri 22 Sept, 19:45) At home Glaws surely

Pool B

Falcons  5-2 Sharks (Fri 22 Sept, 19:45) Could go either way but loads of tries

Tiggers 5-2 Amps (Sun 24 Sep, 15:00) Banker home win

Blues 5-2 Ravers (Sat 23 Sept, 15:00) At home Blues to dominate but should be a grand day out for Ravers

Pool C

Jersey  5-0 Chiefs (Sat 23 Sept, 14:00) I can hardly believe I actually think that prediction is possible

Bath 1-4 London Scottish  (Sat 23 Sep, 14:00) Could go either way

Pool C/D

Blood & Sand 3-3 Pirates (Sat 23 Sept, 15:00) Game of the day for me and surely first points for home team

Pool D

Ealing 5-2 Donny (Sat 23 Sept, 14:30) At home Ealing but two very good teams so it should be close

Bears 4-1 Saints (Sat 23 Sep, 14:30) Could go either way

 

Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere, but I've just seen that the round 4 and 5 televised games were announced:

Sarries 5 - 0 Nottingham ... Sarries will be too strong I feel.
Hartpury 0 - 5 Coventry ... Cov looking good, are taking this seriously and need the win
Glos 4 - 1 Harlequins ... No idea what strength side either are going to put out, but I have gone for the usual tight PL scoreline.
Newcastle 4 - 1 Sale ... As above!!
Leicester 5 - 0 Ampthill ... I really want the Mob to win this, but I think that Tigers will have just a bit too much in the tank.
Bedford 5 - 0 Caldy ... Really fun game this. Bedford to take all of the spoils though.
Jersey 4 - 1 Exeter ... Can't wait for this game. Jersey are on a roll, but I expect them to rotate a few of the players. Exeter to put out a similar side that destroyed the Colts from Bristol, but with a different result.
Bath 5 - 0 LS ... Bath will not make the kistake of losing 2 home games on the trot against Championship opposition. Expect a better team and a huge response.
Cambridge 1 - 5 CP ... This will be a good game and I fancy Cambridge to have some joy, but not the win.
Ealing 5 - 0 Donny ... As well as Donny have been playing and the fact that this is a top of the table clash, Ealing will want to win this game and win it well.
Bristol 1 - 4 Saints ... Not a scooby, but will go with away win as Bears have been playing the youngsters

You think........

Depends if they ask you how you knew?

My guesses:

 

Saracens 5 - 0 Nottingham

Hartpury 1 - 5 Coventry - Cov looking good for top 4 and possibly pushing Ealing / Jersey all the way

Gloucester 5 - 2 Harlequins

Newcastle 4 - 0 Sale

Leicester 5 - 0 Ampthill

Bedford 5 - 0 Caldy

Jersey 5 - 1 Exeter - Jersey potential top 2 and to make Ealing work for their supper

Bath 5 - 0 LS

Cambridge 0 - 5 Pirates

Ealing 5 - 1 Doncaster – I think Ealing look very strong this year and are the Team to beat

Bristol 2 - 5 Saints
