Ealing Trailfinders to face London Scottish: Probably the strongest side that we could put out, so it looks like Ealing want to progress in the cup, even if that means some long away trips. Glad to see Tom Collins back in the squad after a long absence.

London Scottish Team to Face Ealing - A changed side from last week, with six moves from the side that battled Saracens last weekend. The name that jumps out to me is Jonah Holmes, who I don't believe has actually turned out for them often this year so far, but finds time against his previous club. Also see a familiar name in Steven Kerrins.

| Quite a Welsh looking Scottish team thanks to Harlequins kids. |

I hope Ealing recognise the threat of kicking the ball to Jonah Holmes in open field at the back. He is an exceptional player when he is on form. ------------- Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. |

Gerg. Re: your reference to possible ‘long away trips’ for Ealing in KO phase… since there are only 2 or 3 long trips, & Sale can’t qualify as a pool winner, does that mean you’re expecting a dress-rehearsal of the promotion play-off (that may never happen) against Newcastle? Or perhaps Exeter? And the use of the plural indicates optimism about a QF win?

And... Cov have lost lock James Tyas just before kick-off, and replaced him with third-choice fly-half Theo Mannion. They normally make it to ten minutes in to lose a tight-five. You couldn't make it up. ------------- Our Club |

| Scottish 8 (1T) - Ealing 21 (3T) - HT Ealing started slow, but have grown into the match. They could easily be a couple more tries up. Tom Collins responsible for stopping a massive Scottish break, and then returning the ball 20 yards to change the momentum. |

Cov are taking a battering at 14-49 as might be expected against 600-plus Prem caps, but at least it's officially a capacity crowd at 5250. ------------- Our Club |

Well done Ealing, at least the Championship will have 1 club representing them in the knockout stages. When is the draw done for it? Surprised by the hiding that Cov took today. Leaking 10 tries at home is never a good look, albeit the tills will have been ringing loud for the Midlands derby. On the other hand, not surprised by Caldy taking another pasting and troubling neither the scoreboard today, nor their final group table total points of 0. It makes you wonder whether Cambridge or Chinnor might have been less limp and made a better fist of it. Maybe next year. Good luck to Ealing in the QF, I'm sure that the other Championship clubs will now be supporting you.

Bit disengenuos of you there, were you at castle park to see the game? I believe knights can qualify with a little help from Newcastle

My reading of the competition rules is that Doncaster are already out. Only the three best second placed teams go through, and Ealing ( 22 ), Gloucester ( 21 ), Leicester ( 20 ) and Bristol ( 20 ) have more points than Doncaster ( 18 ). A Sale win would put them through with either 22 or 23 points and eliminate Leicester. Newcastle are already through as the group winners and can't be overtaken. A Newcastle win puts Leicester through. If it is a draw Sale need to get the try bonus point to overtake Leicester. Bristol are out regardless of the result. All of the above assumes the tables on the BBC website are correct...........

No Donny are out, only Ealing through. Not sure what was disengenuous about my post. I wasn't at the game but from what I hear Caldy were dominated both in attack and defence by all accounts. Men against boys, much as it was last week at Newcastle.

Good post Se7en, see your bishop is still bashing Caldy , although this fetish is becoming some what tiresome. At the risk of repeating myself which game did you attend today ? Have Caldy blooded your nose in the past ? Is the key board warrior attack a way of rectifying this ? Perhaps we should all snipe at Ampthill who have a similar if not worse record in this competition than Caldy but we will not as it would be as petty as you are being. Caldy Exeter of the Championship P12 W3 / P11 W2 2nd from bottom what's your point ??? |
