Lifted from the BBC! ^
Think Blues have a good opportunity to turnover Ealing, disappointed by our dismal performance against Richmond, which could have seen this be a top of the table clash I am sure the players will be coming out to put a performance after backing up a decent win at Hartpury.

Okay, I'll go first then...
London Scottish 0 - Cornish Pirates 5 - Scottish would struggle in National 1. Truly bad. Pirates on the other hand are quite good. I'd guess about 60-10. Jersey Reds 4 - Hartpury 1 - I haven't seen Jersey play yet, but they seem to be kicking on well, while Hartpury look to be fading a bit after a strong start. Doncaster 4 - Richmond 1 - Richmond have been playing much more exciting rugby this year than last, but I suspect that Donny at home will be a step too far. Bedford 1 - Ealing 5 - Ealing seem to have taken the Pirates game as a rocket up the backside, and I hope that they don't take their foot off the gas for one of the toughest games of the season. Being on grass doesn't help either, but I still think that they'll win it in the end. Coventry 5 - Nottingham 1 - Coventry seem to really be struggling to get the same players on the field week in and week out, but I still think that they'll put the part timers from Nottingham to the sword.

"Being on grass doesn't help either," A statement I never thought I would hear in rugby!!!!! Being on grass certainly helps players knees and skin!!

They can wear leggings, as Malins did in Saracens last home game.

London Scottish 0-5 Cornish Pirates. I think it will feel like long, long season for LS, but with no relegation fears, I hope they come back strong next season.
Jersey 5-1 Hartpury. Jersey are strong at home whilst Hartpury are showing signs of inconsistency. Doncaster 5-0 Richmond. Doncaster are top 4 contenders whilst Richmond’s performances seem to be up and down like a yo-yo. Bedford 0-5 Ealing. Bedford’s strength lies in their running backs. As the game wears on I think the Bedford forwards will be eaten alive by a rampaging Ealing pack. Coventry 4-0 Nottingham. I think the home team will scrape a close win in this Midlands derby. |

Scottish 1-5 Pirates - On form its a banker but Scottish are a proud club and must surely turn the corner soon. Jersey 4-1 Hartpury Most difficult to predict as Jersey have shown shocking discipline this season and you are never sure how many ringers Pury will field. Hoping Jersey pack will give them the edge in a close game. Donny 4-1 Mond- Two good well matched sides but at home I just go with Donny by 4-6 points. Bedford 5-2 Ealing - Trailfinders head & shoulders the best squad and should eventually win the league by 10 points but this is one of a handful of matches where they may fall short. Coventry 2-2 Nottingham - Cov have consistently failed to perform to their potential so this is too close to call for me.

For the ordinary purposes of conversation, a superficial knowledge of many things goes further than an intimacy with one or two.

London Scottish 0 - 5 Cornish Pirates - Surely?
Jersey 5 - 2 Hartpury - Both have been brilliant and average . . home advantage Doncaster 5 - 0 Richmond - Donny strong at home and Richmond with a few key injuries Bedford 0 - 5 Ealing - Even playing on grass ET should be too strong for an improving Bedford team Coventry 4 - 1 Nottingham - a very even contest, Nottingham might shade it |

Predictions this week:
London Scottish 0 v 5 Cornish Pirates - sorry LS, bogey ground or not no upset this time. Pirates by 30+ Jersey 5 v 2 Hartpury - Genuinely don’t have a clue. Both so inconsistent, I think it will be high scoring though Doncaster 5 v 1 Richmond - Richmond have been good this season but Donny to make it 3 from 3 at home Bedford 5 v 2 Ealing - Ealing have been smashing everyone recently but this game could bring them back to earth with a massive bump. I see a Pirates-style mugging Coventry 1 v 4 Nottingham - going for a little surprise here. Coventry have really not turned up so far this season, Notts could capitalise. |

So long as Mr Bright is playing, Richmond will have a significant threat, in addition to him their running Scrum Half who seems quite a threat too (we will have to shut down both of those threats if we want to have any hope of getting the 5 pointer).

London Scottish 0 - 5 Cornish Pirates LS are woeful cannot see any other result
Jersey 5 - 1 Hartpury not seen Pury but the Jersey pack with or without Guy is impressive Doncaster 1 - 4 Richmond the Mond are throwing the ball around but .. Bedford 1 - 5 Ealing think Bedford backs will nick a point Coventry 4 - 0 Nottingham two so so teams |

Sorry to say, further injuries to an already depleted squad so 6 academy players in the team to face Nottingham tomorrow. Hope the new year brings better fortunes for Cov...

Bedford Blues starting XV: 15. Rich Lane (C), 14. Pat Tapley, 13. Jamie Elliott, 12. Ethan Grayson (s), 11. Dean Adamson, 10. Will Maisey, 9. Alex Day; 1. Joey Conway, 2. Reece Marshall (s), 3. Corrie Barrett, 4. Luke Frost, 5. Alex Woolford, 6. Bailey Ransom, 7. Joe Atkinson, 8. Tui Uru Bedford Blues Replacements: 16. Jack Hughes, 17. Josh Pieterse, 18. Osman Dimen, 19. Jordan Onojaife, 20. Oli Stedman, 21. Jake Garside (s), 22. Louis Grimoldby, 23. Matt Worley Just 3 saints for the Blues, Garside is interesting off the bench, passing needs improving but is electric in open play and will be there to try keep tabs on former Blues Burns. Blues will be hoping to go down the slope in the 2nd half no doubt. Edited by The Blues - 05 Nov 2021 at 13:28 |
