But where would Ealing play their fixtures. And if they did get promoted they could join the cabal losing millions every year, best of luck!!

They would play at Vallis Way. With 3000 seats, they easily have a capacity of 5000. Preliminary works to install more seats (slightly moving the field and putting in foundations/drainage) were done this summer at the time thay they laid a new field and installed a 500 seat stand.

In terms of squad, this is a very different beast than last year, with many more academy and academy graduates in the squad. The Brunel academy built over the last half decade is staring to pay real dividends woth 5 players in the match day squad at Bath  and several starting.

Seriously?
It's a PSF. The second of two. Why wouldn't they want to get minutes in legs?

BEDFORD TEAM TO FACE SAINTS:
15 Matt Worley, 14 Alfie Garside, 13 Lucas Titherington, 12 Michael Le Bourgeois, 11 Dean Adamson, 10 Will Maisey, 9 James Lennon; 1 Joey Conway, 2 Nathan Langdon, 3 Oisin Heffernan, 4 Rory Ward, 5 Alex Woolford, 6 Luke Frost, 7 Jac Arthur, 8 Cameron King.
Replacements: Jamie Jack, Tommy Herman, Bryan O’Connor, Shay Kerry, Archie Benson, Fred Tuilagi, Jake Garside, Will Glister, Joel Matavesi, Jamie Elliott, Toby Cousins, Louis James

Glister scored a try for saints last weekend. I think Cousins was also playing for Saints.


Nathan Langdon brother of Curtis. They might scrum down against each other.

Ealing 62 - Hartpury 19 - it was 17-19 at the half, then Ealing woke up and played with pace.

Hopefully Chinnor gave a good account of themselves tonight against one of the likely top 4 sides in the Division ?

Saints 36 - 17 Blues

Blues played well considering the opposition. They haven't had much attacking opportunity against Sarries and Saints but 6 tries in total against them is pretty good going.

A few injuries tonight though, so hopefully nothing serious.

I would say Ealing, Coventry, Doncaster, Pirates and Blues should be towards the top with the first 3 a little further ahead of Pirates and Blues.

Yes. That points difference was essentially 20 minutes of Furbank and Sleighthome ruling the roost.
