Friday 20 September Nottingham vs Yorkshire Carnegie 19.45 - 5-0. I don't believe that Carnegie will look anything like a professional or semi-professional side. They have admitted that they are treating this as their preseason. Saturday 21 September (All at 15.00) Ampthill vs Coventry - 1-5 - Some interesting recruitment from Ampthill, but Coventry has real ambition and I think that they will be targeting the cup (based on no evidence). Bedford Blues vs Ealing Trailfinders - 0-5 - Probably coming out too optimistically, but Ealing looked exceptional against Nat 1 teams, and had seasoning in inter-squad scrimmages against England and Saracens. Their preparation is the exact opposite of Leeds, and I think that they come roaring out of the gates. Ben Ward has rued the loss to Blues last year several times, as well. London Scottish vs Cornish Pirates - 1-5 - I find myself unconvinced by the London Scottish recruitment, while Cornish Pirates brought in a lot of players who helped lift Leeds out of the basement last year and a great DoR. Doncaster Knights vs Hartpury RFC - 4-1. Glostolpury will presumably be playing their kids during the cup, and with the World Cup on, I can see there being less loanees available, so Donny to grind out a solid win. Jersey vs Newcastle Falcons - 4-1. Jersey played a very tough slate of pre-season fixtures. I think that those serve them in good stead against Falcons, who haven't had equivalent pre-season work. Plus, let's face it, this is Jersey. They beat the relegated side at least once every year (though I'd prefer that they did it during the regular season). |

Friday 20 September
Nottingham vs Yorkshire Carnegie 19.45 - 5-0. Could be a BIG margin of victory Saturday 21 September (All at 15.00) Ampthill vs Coventry - 1-5 - An 'easier' start than it could have been but they will find life tough Bedford Blues vs Ealing Trailfinders - 0-5 - Cash talks London Scottish vs Cornish Pirates - 0-5 See above Doncaster Knights vs Hartpury RFC - 5-1. Donny to beat a side that will not be seen again due to the changes week in week out that Hartpury seem to have Jersey vs Newcastle Falcons - 1-4. Falcons not to find it as easy at L2 this time around but probably too much for most. |

True - and he played for you against us in the pre-season. But most of his rugby has been in Blood and Sand not Blue. Have you leant him to YC, or is it a different player?

I am guessing he must be a different player because we are short in the backs at the moment. Good research overall though!

Sugars & Lancaster were Leeds Academy and on loan previously to Otley & Hull
James Fylnn - Released be Sale Sharks James Elliot I'm pretty sure was at Leeds?Beckett uni last year, so don't think he was with a club Guy Graham was with Bladon on loan from Falcons last year - could be another loan

I cannot remember the last time Lee Smith played for the Rhinos - I don't think it was his last club. And where is the big money signing - Joe Ford? |

For those who are making the trip to Jersey from Newcastle, no need for your big coat as the forecast is looking fantastic!! Make sure that you stay really well hydrated (plenty of watering holes in the ground), food is optional

Both sides have ex Mond No 9s. I think Stuart is the more complete player, but Jones is a dangerous runner.
