Pool A Jersey 5-0 Hartpury ... Jersey will rotate, but it will not make a difference. Nottingham 0-5 Ealing ... Back-to-back nasties for Nottingham. Can't see past another big win for ET. Pool B Bedford 1-5 Cov ... Was last week's result against LS a blip? we shall find out, but I am not so sure (prepared to be proved wrong though). LS 1-5 Doncaster ... Will last week's result kick start the Exiles season? I'm not so sure. Donny will be really tough up front, but LS have proved that they can score tries. Pool C Ampthill 5-0 Richmond ... This will be tight, but I think that the Mob will run away with it at the end. Caldy 0-5 CP ... Pirates to build on their big win last week. Expect more of the same. ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

| I'm not saying the cup has captured my imagination (nor anyone else's)... but it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. 2 clashes this weekend between teams that lost their opening game: lose 2 on the spin and you'd face a real battle to get in the mix to qualify. |

As only one team from each pool + best second place qualifies it seems likely that two losses will be one too many to qualify. The format is: ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

pool a jersey 5 0 hartpury - Harpury were baaaaaad last weekend. nottingham 1 5 ealing - I think Ealing will still score 40, but may leak four tries, especially in the closing stages. pool b bedford 0 5 coventry - Bedford lost to Scottish. scottish 1 5 doncaster - Scottish can't win two in a row. pool c ampthill 5 0 richmond - Richmond don't seem to take the cup seriously - I may make the squad this week. caldy 5 1 pirates - The longest of journeys to favor the home side. |

Pool A Jersey 5 - 0 Hartpury. Home Banker Nottingham 0 - 5 Ealing. Who cares  . Pool B Bedford 5 - 2 Coventry. Could go either way London Scottish 5 - 2 Doncaster. 2 on the trot, why not  Pool C Ampthill 5 - 0 Richmond. Home Banker Caldy 4 - 0 Cornish Pirates Home slog but a home win ------------- For the ordinary purposes of conversation, a superficial knowledge of many things goes further than an intimacy with one or two. |

Jersey 5-0 Hartpury. It's a long way to go to come second by a mile so I wish the Hartpury lads a good night out on Saturday. Nottingham 1-5 Ealing. The Ealing machine to rumble on but I see Nottingham scoring 4 tries. Bedford 1-4 Coventry. If the weather is wet, then the Coventry forwards will pound the Bedford pack. L Scottish 0-4 Doncaster. A professional side should take every game seriously. I expect Doncaster to prevail. Ampthill 5-0 Richmond. I base this prediction purely on last week's results. Caldy 1-4 C Pirates. The Pirates will be encouraged by last week's result and should just hold their ground. ------------- Always trying to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. |

Sorry KB but your question comes across as churlish. 3k in this comp is a magnificent crowd, whatever marketing tools or promotions were used to tempt them through the gate (after which they'd have spent money on food, drink, merch, programmes etc, as well as contributing to good atmosphere no doubt). Well done Blues...

Wasn't travelling 8 hours round trip for a cup match, but would enjoy more detail on how Ealing was awful. A concern as they had many starters out there (mixed in with a few 3rd and 4th choices).

Notts ran riot in the first half. It was 12-0 for quite some time and we spent an awful lot of time in the Ealing half. It was 12-5 to Notts at half time but I think we seemed to spend more time in the Ealing half than they did in ours. Second half they did seem to wake up and come out firing but at one point we literally just ran straight through them. That said though the last few minutes we were camped on their line but they did hold firm. Not the usual performance I would expect from Ealing. Like everyone else I was expecting a wrecking ball driven through us by Ealing but certainly for most of the first half it was very much the other way round. They seemed a bit subdued. I was looking out for Jonah Holmes as he was my husband’s favourite player from his time at Tigers but he seemed to be almost invisible.

Thanks for the additional info. Ealing have often struggled at Lady Bay, and Nottingham seems to be a much improved side this year. That said, I'm not sure what might have caused them to come out so flat, unless it was the lack of Rayn Smid in the side. Although he isn't captaining the side this year, he seems quite important to their organization and crispness of play.
