Predictions: Newcastle 5-0 Hartpury - Falcons to enjoy themselves Yorkshire Carnegie 1-5 London Scottish - maybe Carnegie may get closer in this one. Coventry 5-0 Ampthill - Coventry to keep their good form going in the cup. Ealing 5-0 Bedford - Blues just don't look at the races this season. not the ideal game to get back in the groove. Jersey 4-1 Doncaster - hopefully closer than the league match but the same result unfortunately. Cornish Pirates 5-2 Nottingham - probably game of the round. if the best Nottingham turns up this could be a good one.

Newcastle 5-0 Hartpury - One way traffic despite lots of changes for Falcons Yorkshire Carnegie 1-5 London Scottish - LS need to keep improving so will send a strong team Coventry 5-0 Ampthill - Coventry up for the cup but will use full squad. Ealing 5-0 Bedford - Big home win. Jersey 4-1 Doncaster - Home advantage Cornish Pirates 5-1 Nottingham - Home advantage ------------- Run with it |

Well...we'll have something that looks a bit like Rugby this weekend then, won't we. Yorkshire Carnegie 0-5 London Scottish - I've seen no evidence that Carnegie is going to be competitive this year. Coventry 5-0 Ampthill - Coventry to bounce back from their visit up north. Ealing 5-0 Bedford - You have to think that Ealing has Bedford's number this year. If clear and sunny, a 5-0, if rainy and wretched, possibly more like 4-1. Jersey 4-1 Doncaster - Not sure which Donny turns up, but hopefully the week off will have helped both clubs get a few players back and healthy. Cornish Pirates 5-0 Nottingham - the Pirates of Penzance to make Robin Hood walk the plank. I think Pirates get back to form after dealing with their annual nightmare at the RAG.

| Will wait to see the selections , as the league must be the main event some teams especially towards the bottom may play a B team to protect players just in case Carnegie manage to pull in a few favours and bring in a second squad like last year. I don't think it will happen but you never know |

That's ok if you have a second squad. It's getting difficult to get a first one !! ------------- Bedford Blues Supporter of the Year 2010 - 2011 |

That's what I was implying a number of clubs are in the same boat

I suspect the appetite for a place in the knock out stages and the possibility of a home draw therein will be the key influence in team selection this week. My thoughts: Falcons 5-0 Hartpury the barcodes are inked in my book as pool winners and will be looking to try and secure first seed whereas Hartpury unlikely to progress so a banker bonus point home win. Yorkies 0-5 London Scottish - A bonus point win should go a long way towards securing Scottish a home quarter final draw. Yorkies to concentrate on the league. Coventry 5-0 Ampthill .Cov may struggle to overhaul Trailfinders to win the pool but a bonus point win might easily give them best runner up spot and a home quarter final draw. Ealing 5-0 Bedford .Trailfinders will want to retain the cup and go for first or second seed to maximise their chances. Jersey 4-0 Doncaster I think both teams will make the quarter finals but at home Jersey to win by 10-12 points. Cornish Pirates 4-1 Nottingham Should be a brilliant game but at home Pirates to win by 5-7 points in the mud or on Pirates pristine re-laid & redrained pitch.. My first guess at quarter final seeds: 1. Falcons 2. Trailfinders 3. Scottish 4. Cov 5. Pirates 6. Jersey 7. Nottingham 8. Donny Have a great weekend all. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

| CC as previously pointed out, the pitch has been completely re-layed at the Mennaye including decent drainage, so far no sign of mud!! Better revise your prediction |

Newcastle 5-0 Hartpury - Falcons way too strong for Pury, 42-12 Yorkshire Carnegie 0-5 London Scottish - Scots like the cup it seems, and will take full advantage of the makeshift Leeds outfit Coventry 5-1 Ampthill - Unlikely victory for A's, but a shock win will serve up two very tasty encounters in their two remaining home fixtures Ealing 5-0 Bedford - No chance for Blues unless Ealing implode. Jersey 5- 0 Doncaster - Donny on the ropes this season and little chance to pick up anything from this other than a few air miles Cornish Pirates 5- 0 Nottingham - Mennaye magic from Pirates who will fancy a few tries |

Now, I stress here that I am not copying B Cap, but I agree with all of his predictions this week, albeit for slightly different reasons. Newcastle 5-0 Hartpury ... Not sure if Falcons will see this as a way of resting more players or a way of bringing the WC players back in gently...same result though. Yorkshire Carnegie 0-5 London Scottish ... Mismatch, simple as. Coventry 5-1 Ampthill ... I think that Cov will win this well, but it will be a very entertaining game as Ampthill will give it a right old go. Lots of points here I think. Ealing 5-0 Bedford ... Not the fixture that the Blues would want and I can see a comfortable home win against a side that is desperate to get injuries back on the field. Jersey 5-0 Doncaster ... Jersey to get their own back for the defeat in Doncaster first time round. I will miss this one as ironically I will be in ... Doncaster  Cornish Pirates 5-0 Nottingham ... Nottingham are a quality side, but I think that those pesky privateers from Cornwall will bee too strong at home. Entertaining game though. Good luck everyone and please, no nasty injuries. |
