Ealing Trailfinders to face Cornish Pirates: I'm not going to lie, I'm not the biggest fan of this side. I'd like to see some halfback pairing consistency, for example whey not let Craig and Craig have another run out together? I also would rather see Corndog at 16 than Cam, and Biyi Alo starting over George Davis. Also, I wonder what has happened to Tom Collins? Finally, concerned not to see Rayn Smid in the side at all, as he brings a lot of leadership.

Here is the Ampthill side to play Chinnor tomorrow. I make it 11 changes from the side that started last week against Bedford, and just two Saracens in the matchday squad ( Sylvester and Merritt )


Here is the Chinnor side. Four changes from last week, with Worboys and Slevin both returning

Pirates are really struggling at the moment with 15 players unavailable. A lot of injuries along with loanees from Ealing and Chiefs not available for selection.
Away at Ealing is as tough as it gets, so I'm afraid it looks like a damage limitation exercise.

Where do the 11 new players come from? Surely it's dispiriting for a player to sit on the touchlines until there's a shortage of DR players or is this the lot of the modern player? Did the DR packed team suffer against Bedford because they didn't know each other and their team mates? It seems strange to an old fogey such as I who played in the 70s Confused

Sorry, my mistake, just the 10 changes for Ampthill. It looks like the 10 changes are made up of 5 players who were subs last week, 3 of the non playing traveling reserves, one new Saracen and an Ampthill player not involved last week.

The Ampthill subs are made up of 5 of the non playing traveling reserves, two subs from last week, and one player dropped from the starting XV

I saw a lot of the other players at half time. They were walking all looking very unimpressed that they had to go watch a game which they’d probably have preferred to be playing or had the Saturday off instead of watching young Sarries!

Bedford 5 - 2 Coventry - Bedford to reverse the recent trend of this fixture - should be a cracking game.
Nottingham 4 - 1 Doncaster - Donny will probably win this now I’ve backed against them but Nottingham have been the better team this season and were comfortably the better team in the reverse fixture. 
Cambridge 1 - 4 Caldy - This is a huge fixture but Caldy are in the better form and will nick it. 
London Scottish 2 - 5 Hartpury - will be a good game but Hartpury to just do enough. 
Chinnor 5 - 0 Ampthill - Chinnor have proven to be a real handful at home. 
Ealing 5 - 0 Cornish Pirates - Can’t see much in this for Pirates - could be a long old day at the office if Ealing get going. 
Donny Knights - best team in Yorkshire
