Caldy 5 vs 2 Bedford Caldy to maintain their run of form but Bedford to keep them honest Hartpury 5 vs 1 Richmond Hartpury to win by 10 points but Richmond to get a 4 Try bonus Doncaster 5 vs 0 Nottingham The Knights to exact their revenge for the away defeat Cornish Pirates 0 vs 5 Jersey I think Jersey will do a number at the Menaye Ealing Trailfinders 5 vs 1 Coventry Home win but Coventry will make them defend London Scottish 5 vs 2 Ampthill Assuming a similar strength LS Squad to last week will do the job but only just ------------- Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny! |

Caldy 5-1 Blues Two sides hitting form but on the Wirral Caldy to win it Pury 4-2 Mond Visitors to narrowly lose but score 4 tries Donny 4-0 Archers Both teams looking to find form but home advantage to be decisive Pirates 1-4 Jersey If the luck stays with them Jersey to win by a single point. I will watch the stream but wish I could be there on the terrace at the Newlyn end. Ealing 3-3 Coventry Easily the tie of the round between two very good prospective premiership teams surely the RFU will stream this one. Should be a great crowd. McQuins 5-1 Ampthill I hope Amps take at least a point IMO they add hugely to this league ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

Caldy 1-5 Bedford. Two in-form teams and Bedford don’t like travelling north. But I think their style of play should prevail. Might be wrong though. Hartpury 5-0 Richmond. Hartpury are another form team and should get the bonus try win. Doncaster 5-0 Nottingham. The Donnie’s look like they might be back on track again. Pirates 0-4 Jersey. What has happened to the Pirates? Jersey’s form has dipped but they should grind out the win. Ealing 5-0 Coventry. Enough said. L Scottish 2-5 Ampthill. I don’t care what super duper rugby mercenaries LS put out, the As are showing real fight lately and should have enough to register a much needed win.

To quote Cherub: "Pirates 0-4 Jersey. What has happened to the Pirates? Jersey’s form has dipped but they should grind out the win" We lost several high class, experienced players at the end of last season - some retiring, some going to other clubs. We have a very young, inexperienced squad with a lot of potential but clearly with a lot to learn. ------------- *Stalwart |

We have a supporters' evening tonight, it will be interesting to get the coaches view on the progress of this squad. Against Nottingham and Donny the defence was very strong - then we go to Bedford and concede seven tries. ------------- *Stalwart |

I was more surprised by the lack of creativeness from Pirates, normally the backs have more spark and score some tries.

I am more than ecstatic that our very own Harry Doolan has got a chance from the bench tomorrow. Following an op during the summer, his return has been blighted by niggle after niggle. A truly delightful lad who lives and breathes rugby. Only recently turned 21. Fingers crossed that you get a chance Harry. Grab it with both hands if you do. ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

Caldy 1 - 5 Bedford … The Caldy faithful are living the dream at the moment. Their team is playing out of their skin and returning results. You will enjoy this fixture guys. If Bedford decide to play it could be a belter. Hartpury 5 - 1 Richmond … Glos 2nds to take the spoils, but Mond will not make it easy for them. Doncaster 5 - 0 Nottingham … Both teams have not been at their best this season, but an improving Donny at home should prove too strong for a Nottingham side desperate to regain its mojo. C Pirates 0 - 5 Jersey … Pirates have not been at their best this season, but they are rebuilding and it sounds as though they will be a force again, but not this season. Jersey have had a run of really tough fixtures and although they are not at their best should win this one. Ealing 4 - 1 Coventry … No pitch advantage here for Ealing against a very capable and exciting Coventry side. This could go all the way and I wouldn’t bet against an upset, even though I am backing Ealing…. Just!! L Scottish 5 - 0 Ampthill … This saddens me. McQuinns should have won in Jersey and if they retain all of their imports then it will be a very long afternoon for The Mob. The worst thing will be the consequences as LS are bound to now move up the league….we’ve seen this scenario before and it just isn’t right. Good luck Ampthill ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

Caldy 1 - 5 Bedford have been wrong about Caldy for many weeks so I am backing Bedford Hartpury 5 - 0 Richmond. Mond have certainly lost their Mojo and don"t look scoring 4 tries in a game Doncaster 4 -1 Nottingham not understanding either team just went for home win Cornish Pirates 1 - 5 Jersey Cp out of sorts Jersey are a good side Ealing Trailfinders 5 - 1 Coventry sorry Cov fans at home I would give you a fighting chance McQuins 1 - 4 Ampthill basement battle I expect the McQuins will do a Hartpury on the 22/04 to decide who gets relegated |

Ealing Trailfinders team to face Coventry: I was apparently too pessimistic last week. Let's see how this goes. Surprised to see Shingler starting at 12. 15. Jonah Holmes 14. Nathan Earle 13. Max Bodilly 12. Steven Shingler 11. Luke Daniels 10. Craig Willis 9. Craig Hampson 1. James Gibbons 2. Shaun Malton 3. Lewis Thiede 4. Bobby De Wee 5. Simon Linsell (C) 6. Rob Farrar 7. Carlo Tizzano 8. Will Montgomery Replacements: 16. Jan-Henning Campher 17. Kyle Whyte 18. Jimmy Roots 19. Danny Cutmore 20. Simon Uzokwe 21. Jordan Burns 22. Reuben Bird-Tulloch 23. David Douglas Bridge (Debut) |

Predictions: Caldy 1 v 4 Bedford - Caldy on a roll and feeling confident but I just think Bedford will edge this one, Blues are on a great run Hartpury 5 v 1 Richmond - Hartpury are a tough prospect at home and they should win this by a decent margin Doncaster 4 v 1 Nottingham - Two out of form teams. Donny lost at home last time out and the players will want to put that right - close call. Cornish Pirates 1 v 4 Jersey - Whilst always a tough team to beat in Penzance, Pirates don’t have the quality of previous seasons. Reds to win this and it may be more comfortable than the points would suggest. Ealing 5 v 0 Coventry - As good a run as Cov are on, I think Ealing will be too strong. Coventry are not the same team away from home. London Scottish 1 v 4 Ampthill - This will be close. I think Amps will nick it. ------------- Donny Knights - best team in Yorkshire |

More than likely the font size was inherited from the source they copy and pasted it from. To overcome this, you could format the font size, which is found above the message, when you type your new post. I don't think it is a bug with RM, but HTML can be glitchy if not formatted correctly.

[QUOTE=gerg_861] Ealing Trailfinders team to face Coventry: Surprised to see Shingler starting at 12. Interesting particularly against Cov who put some seriously heavy traffic through the inside centre channel. Shingler is a class player so offensively it may be a move to change their kicking strategy. His defence will certainly be tested at 12 against Cov who have got some powerful ball carriers. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

Coventry squad to play Ealing Trailfinders.One of the reasons Cov has performed so much better this season t (on the bench), a centre at full back, han last has been consistent availability for selection, due to a lower injury count. This week though there are a significant number of changes, with a loan prop brought in, and a change in the locks. On the positive side though Pat Pellegrini is back in.vHe's Ben an exciting gain to the team this season, willing to back himself with ball in hand. 1.Toby Trinder .2.Jordon Poole (c) 3.Ollie Andrews 4.Rhys Thomas 5.Adam Peters 6.Tom Ball 7.Josh Bainbridge 8.Senitiki Nayalo 9.Will Chudley 10.Pat Pellegrini 11.James Martin 12.Will Rigg 13.Will Wand 14.

Well we took the spoil’s yesterday - 32- 17 (5-0) which was much needed. Nottingham scored a beautiful try, which should at least be in the shortlist for try of the week 👏. Billy McBryde scored an interception try at the death to take the bonus point, another 3m and the second of the Nottingham chasers would have got him. That result keeps us in the mix for too 4 along with Bedford and Hartpury there is a mini battle for the 4th place - exciting times! ------------- Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny! |

I agree with CC. A good game at the Mennaye yesterday, one which Jersey dominated for large parts, but Pirates just wouldn’t go away, which kept the game honest until the final whistle. The pitch looked dreadful, but played really well, but must have been draining as lots of players cramping up towards the end of the game. My MOTM was Holgate. The lines that he ran were simply superb and always made meters. Brilliant display. ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

2 intercepts makes 2 points of difference. Blues pushing to regain the lead lost their lobo and Knights getting their tbp could make the difference for top 4.

Good options but why are the grounds London Centric? Caldy are proving that there is a game up North and are well supported travelling to London is becoming very expensive for Supporters. The Game could be at Sale Sharks, or Darlington Mowden Park stadium ( the only ground outside Twickenham which can hold 28,000 !!!) Already the RFU has emasculated Woman's game up North with no clubs North of Leicester.

Twickenham was my choice because it could be a 3 game play off finals day, surely it is most players dream to play their, my Doncaster played their in a cup final and it is still talked about.

Wow I did not see a first ever win at Ealing coming ! Great win win whilst missing 5 regulars. To answer Kimbo's point, Richard Moon away & myself were both not there, for my part my poor physicality now means no away games & it yes, I have witnessed some stuffings at Ealing, so Saturday was particularly sweet.  BBC CWR commentator was Carson Wishart who is a freelance. ------------- John Butler |
