Injuries and suspensions beginning to take their toll on the squad, but looking at the veterans side to play Guernsey tomorrow, there are some good options to choose from there should we need them for next weekend ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

| Odd call. Jersey player Longwell? returns to pitch after much longer than a 15 minute HIA period. Anyone know what regulation permits this? |

Ealing team to face Pirates tomorrow at 1500. No changes in the starting 15, a few swaps in the latter half of the subs. I think that this team is fine at Vallis Way, even missing half a dozen nailed on starters from the regular season. 1. Kyle Whyte 2. Cam Terry 3. George Davis 4. David O’Connor 5. Barney Maddison (C) 6. Gary Porter 7. Harry Dugmore 8. Jack Digby 9. Jordan Burns 10. Steven Shingler 11. James Cordy-Redden 12. James Little 13. Reuben Bird-Tulloch 14. Charlie Walker 15. David Johnston Replacements - 16. Morgan Veness 17. James Gibbons 18. Jimmy Roots 19. James Cannon 20. Len Massyn 21. Stephen Kerins 22. Craig Willis 23. Matt Gordon |

A number of changes in the forwards from last week with 5-6 regular
starters missing due to injury. A very youthful looking pack with first starts for
Olly Adkins and Steele Barker.

I don’t understand. Why if pirates win are they away at cov, even though they finished above them in the table? Why did Ealing get a bye and home games every round in the competition? Coventry would draw a big crowd for the final and could actually do with the additional revenue, why play the game in front of 500 people at a club who don’t rely on match day revenue? I don’t understand the logic at all in determining who gets to play at home in the knockouts, other then the rule of Ealing are guaranteed home ties.

Someone said it was due to Pirates progressing as 'losers' and Cov winning their 'group' stage, but don't quote me on it. ------------- Our Club |

Bluesman. A source tells me it is because Cornish Pirates progressed from the first round as a losing team, whereas Coventry progressed as a winning team.

I'd say 300, certainly not impressive. Ealing 29 - Pirates 14. Ealing get the penalty and Pirates hit back with a try after gettting the ball deep in Ealing territory courtesy of a forward pass. Nice conversion. 47'

| Ealing 29 - Pirates 21 - Ealing commit 3 infringements to put Pirates in their 22, Pirates power over. Ealing look asleep. Lovely conversion again. |

I don’t understand why league position determines who gets home draws. Why not just do a draw? That’s like Liverpool/Man City being guaranteed home draws for the entirety of the FA cup. Just heavily weights the cup, which is unrelated to the league, in favour of the teams who already have proven they have more resources. What a farce. ------------- Championship Prediction League Winner 11/12 |

| Ealing 36 - Pirates 21 - Ealing won a scrum penalty off of a Pirates feedin, then Charlie Walker scored in the corner after a few more short range penalties.61'. |

| Sir just missed maybe the most egregious side entey I've seen this season, with the Pirates player basically going around the ruck to smash our scrum half. I believe the line judge spotted it. |

| Perhaps moaning about previous rounds of the cup by people whose teams are out of the cup would be better in a different thread, rather than in one tracking a semi final which is of direct interest to three clubs minute by minute. |

It was pretty good. The commentators, however, seemed more interested in chatting about hairstyles etc than concentrating on the game. They weren't on top of replacements etc. Pirates acquitted themselves well, with a pack of average age of 22 yrs they stuck in and battled to the end. The two tries just before half time (basically two missed tackles) left them too far behind, but we love the never-say-die attitude of the team and quite a few have already committed for next season. |
