I am sure it is a portent of the end of the world if this board predicts a Cambridge win.
It is a crunch match and I look forward to meeting Big Eddie again.

Friday
Bedford Blues 5-2 Coventry - Blues have been poor against Coventry in recent years, but I think will edge a high scoring match.
Nottingham 2-5 Doncaster Knights - another high scoring game, which could go the other way 

Saturday
Cambridge 2-5 Caldy - Caldy had a good win last week, Cambridge still struggling but could also see this going the other way
London Scottish 5-2 Hartpury - going for a shock Scottish win, although wouldn’t be surprised if Hartpury won
Chinnor 2-5 Ampthill - although they’ll be without the Sarries hooker if they have 10 players they may edge it
Ealing Trailfinders 5-0 Pirates - can’t see pirates getting an upset

I presume this is because the PWR game against Bristol immediately precedes the Pirates game. I’ve seen quite a few of the women’s games are streamed, shame the same coverage cannot be provided more regularly for the Champ.

Agreed, but clubs can do this if they wish. Pirates stream every home game (except Prem Cup which is not allowed).

Yep agreed and Pirates do a great job at this. If you look at the PWR YouTube channel though the highlights coverage is a high standard and many of the games are streamed (plus TNT have a regular/weekly? Live game as well) all on the same channel. Alas no such Champ channel exists (maybe under Prem 2 though?).

Whilst many of the stadiums are majority empty (and The Champ can hardly quibble on this point), the viewing ‘experience’ is decent and I think justifies to a certain extent the need to enhance facilities in the Champ to increase the appeal. 

In many ways the atmosphere is just as important as the play on the pitch. Believe me Ealing are not immune to this criticism, I have seen great games in a flat atmosphere which is a real shame.
