Ealing Trailfinders to face Chinnor: A line up that I can only call a bit odd. Good to see Matt Cornish back in the squad after an injury, but why make 7 changes from a side that won 89-17 last weekend? Also, very weird to go in with only a single fly half when you are doing a 5:3 split. Fingers crossed.

  1. Kyle Whyte
  2. Matt Cornish
  3. Adam Nicol
  4. Sean Lonsdale
  5. Danny Cutmore
  6. Rob Farrar (c)
  7. Jordy Reid
  8. Josh Taylor
  9. Michael Stronge
  10. Craig Willis
  11. Tom Collins
  12. Francis Moore
  13. Reuben Bird-Tulloch
  14. Angus Kernohan
  15. Tobi Wilson
  16. Scott Buckley
  17. Lefty Zigiriadis
  18. Kabous Bezuidenhout
  19. Ehize Ehizode
  20. Ollie Newman
  21. Craig Hampson
  22. Max Bodilly
  23. Jordan Holgate

When you have a squad like Ealing's and are playing a newly promoted part-time side like Chinnor on plastic, you could probably make 15 changes and still win by 30+ points. It gives game time to fringe squad players.

I have personally been impressed with how well Chinnor have conducted themselves and played in their debut season at Level 2, so my observations above are by no means intended to be critical of them.

I would also note that Ealing has Chinnor's head coach on the bench as back up scrum half.

I saw that and thought it was a bit odd, as I seem to remember hearing at the start of the season that Hampson would be sitting out both fixtures during the season to prevent any conflict of interest?

Hampson started the game at Chinnor for Ealing back in January. I heard the arrangement was he wouldn't be involved in coaching Chinnor the week before the games but he could play for Ealing.

Ealing have scored 92, 63, 95, 55, 84 & 82 points in their 7 home wins. A 30 point loss would probably be a good result for Chinnor !

I don't think there is any problem, the sides are very far apart... now Chinnor spring a surprise.  

With regards to Ealing changing so many players, their squad is huge and full of quality.  With the league pretty much wrapped up with 8 points from 4 games needed it also gives you an opportunity to try out some of the other players. Ealing could put out their 2nd team and it would still be in the top 4, their 3rd team probably would be top 6.

It seems to be a bit of a theme for Nottingham of recent seasons, start off strong and towards the top end of the season (with enough points to be safe from relegation) before drifting down the league to finish lower mid-table.
