Hartpury 5-1 Cambridge - I believe in Cambridge not really at all.
Nottingham 5-1 Ealing Trailfinders - I'll see how Ealing's injury situation is on Thursday.

Saturday

Ampthill 5-1 Caldy - Depends on loan players, but also a very long trip for the Caldy team.
Cornish Pirates 4-1 Bedford Blues  - Two teams who may not be happy with their performance so far.
Doncaster Knights 5-2 London Scottish - Not sure which team shows up for either side.
Coventry 5-1 Chinnor - Does Craig Hampson get to claim part of the points for these wins? Surely that should be fair.

Hartpury 5 v 0 Cambridge 
Nottingham 5 v 2 Ealing - Archers will be revved up for this and will fancy their chances 
Ampthill 5 v 0 Caldy 
Cornish Pirates 2 v 5 Bedford - Bedford are one of the few teams that have had recent success in Penzance, winning on their last two visits. I think they will make it a hat-trick. 
Doncaster 5 v 1 London Scottish - Anything could happen here, but the Nottingham game will hopefully serve as a guard against complacency for Donny. Scottish aren’t pushovers. 
Coventry 5 v 0 Chinnor - Sorry Chinnor, different class of opposition this week.

Donny Knights - best team in Yorkshire

Hartpury 5-1 Cambridge - I think Cambridge could get a tbp
Nottingham 1-5 Ealing Trailfinders - unless the pitch is muddy and Ealing get stuck in it
Ampthill 5-0 Caldy - It could be a long season for Caldy
Cornish Pirates 2-5 Bedford Blues -  I think Blues will win this, Howard is back fit (player of season last year), hopefully Tuilagi and a few other injured players are back fit
Doncaster Knights 5-1 London Scottish - Doncaster shouldn't let this one slip
Coventry 5-0 Chinnor - first game for Chinnor against a top 6 club and will see the step up in ability against a title chasing Coventry

Chinnor have already played Cov (pre-season) so have a little insight - which may make things slightly trickier for Cov than some are predicting.

Ealing Trailfinders to travel to Nottingham:

10 changes from last week. I don't know whether to think of it as a rocket or a knee jerk reaction. Clearly the coaches were massively unhappy with the pack, as most aren't even in the squad this week. Grate to see Craig and Craig back in the midfield.

  1. Kyle Whyte
  2. Mike Willemse
  3. Adam Nicol
  4. David Douglas Bridge
  5. Danny Cutmore
  6. Rob Farrar (c)
  7. Simon Uzokwe
  8. Will Montgomery
  9. Craig Hampson
  10. Craig Willis
  11. Tom Collins
  12. Jordan Holgate
  13. Reuben Bird-Tulloch
  14. Angus Kernohan
  15. Tobi Wilson
  16. Cam Terry
  17. James Kenny
  18. George Davis
  19. Sean Lonsdale

Bedford’s injury crisis has got to the point where we’re fielding a prop in the 2nd row.

In reply to Blues whingeing over injuries, it’s only fair to point out Pirates have borrowed a flanker from Nat2 Redruth owing to back row injuries.

I would have thought by now the fruit filter would have been corrected to allow common names like Hisc*cks in team news.

I feel sorry for teams from Sc*nthorpe (SKiwifruithorpe)  or Ar*enal (hazelnutnal) in football- Yet Clitheroe gets through ??

Why on earth are they doing that? He is built like a prop and has very few traits, physical or skill wise, suited to playing 2nd row. What a bizarre conversion.

I know, they don’t think he will make it as a tighthead, but if he isn’t going to make it as a tighthead he’s definitely not going to make it was a 2nd row! I don’t think he should be tested in the Championship as s 2nd row. Although he should give plenty of power in the scrum, line out and open play we will be lacking. My guess is half he will be changed, may even go to prop for 10 mins before the replacement prop comes on.

I sense a very long season ahead for Cambridge, streaky defence and struggling to put points on the board in attack.
