Cardiff Rugby are part of the URC - the top level for Welsh, Scottish and Irish, SA, Italian clubs (Leinster, Munster, Edinburgh etc), so loosely the equivalent of an English prem club so that's a decent result for Ealing for their first pre season match. Cardiff RFC, who Cambridge lost to today, are a Welsh Prem side - loosely equivalent to a top end Nat 1 side and in the same league as Aberavon (who I think Cambridge play next), and is the side that Rams beat a couple of weeks ago.

Cardiff Rugby is the first XV who play in URC.
Cardiff RFC are the second XV who play in Super Rygbi Cymru. A new competition. The RFC are generally a mix of academy players and part time players. The firsts played a typical preseason mix and match XV. So (roughly) Ealing beat the reserves and Cambridge lost to the academy. Neither team has played Rams to my knowledge so not sure who you mean? Edit: Ah misread, you meant they played Aberavon. |

Nottingham v Ampthill Friday 6th September Lady Bay Nottingham left it late to claim victory in their second and final pre-season fixture against Ampthill. It was a match of contrasting styles with The Archers looking to play expansive rugby at every opportunity whereas the Bedfordshire outfit preferred to repeatedly drive into contact. That being said, it was up front where Nottingham asserted dominance early, winning a scrum penalty after knocking on from their own kick off.. The kick to the corner led to a maul from which Jack Dickinson darted over the line. Gwyn Parks’ attempted conversion went narrowly wide left. Harry Graham was looking particularly lively, releasing Kegan Christian-Goss after showing a clean pair of heels to beat a number of opponents down the left touchline in the eighth minute, but Ampthill’s Veremi Qorowale got across to make the try-saving tackle. That only temporarily stemmed the tide however as, after a quarter of an hour, another penalty was kicked to the corner. A cheeky throw to the front of the lineout was immediately returned to Dickinson to run in unopposed in the left hand corner. With the wind against him Parks was unable to convert. Soon after there was beautiful interplay between Ryan Olowofela, Graham and Will Yarnell that the whole ground thought had resulted in the diminutive winger crossing under the posts but the referee pulled it back for a forward pass on the 22. Despite The Archers’ initial dominance the final 10 minutes of the half belonged to Ampthill, the catalyst being when they turned defence into attack by intercepting a chip kick within five metres of their own try line and kicking themselves into Nottingham territory. With the aid of a couple of penalties they were able to turn the pressure into points when hooker James Isaacs drove over the line. Josh Barton converted to reduce the arrears to 10-7. Ampthill were immediately back on the offensive. Again, the Bedfordshire side were helped by ill-discipline by the home side, who were one frank conversation between referee and captain away from being reduced to 14 for persistent infringements. In the last act of the first period someone other than a hooker, in the form of Richard Barrington, crossed for the score. With Barton on target once again, Ampthill took a 14-10 lead into the break. Nottingham re-found their free-flowing rugby after the interval and it wasn’t long before new signing Sam Mercer showed great strength to take a horde of Ampthill defenders with him across the line in the left hand corner to make it 15-14 to The Archers. But, much like the end of the first half, Ampthill once again started to dictate play, culminating in Lekima Ravuvu going over near the posts and Barton adding the extras to put the away side back into the lead. David Williams had made probing runs a number of times since coming on early in the second half and in the 57th minute was able to make inroads into the Ampthill 22. He found Charlie Myall with a looping pass and the Leicester loanee sped over the line. Matt Arden had replaced Parks but unfortunately he too couldn’t convert, leaving the score at 20-21. Nottingham were handed a real opportunity to take the lead when Ampthill were reduced to 13 men after two yellow cards in quick succession, the second one for collapsing the maul inside their own five metre line. The Archers were unable to make the pressure count immediately, however, as The Mob won a penalty from the scrum. Nottingham did ultimately take advantage though as, with just less than five minutes to go, they stole a lineout on their own 22 then worked their way up the pitch by going coast-to-coast several times to exploit the space created by Ampthill’s depleted numbers. Myall was once again the grateful recipient of the final pass and he dotted down near the posts to give Arden the easiest kick of the evening, which was duly converted to give Nottingham the 27-21 victory. |

That is a strong Bath side, only really lacking 5 or 6 regular starting XV players/internationals. The likes of Russell, Underhill, Stuart, Spencer and Lawrence. Increasingly over the years I've believed more and more that Ealing could hold their own at Premiership level. Maybe next next season they'll get the chance.

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.

| 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.

Yeah, preseason fixture planned before the regular fixtures were announced. Also would add that Hartpury BUCs team played Brunel University (Ealing's academy side) before the senior match. Hartpury won that.
