19-20 Championship - week 5 predictions

Hartpury 4 v London Scottish 1 Pury backs too much pace for Scots.
Prediction : 24 - 17

Bedford 0 v Newcastle 5 Blues struggling with under strength squad. Leeds
will improve and will beef up with DRs. Could Blues be looking at the drop ?

Coventry 4 v Doncaster 1 Cov bouyed by Ealing draw and will
still fancy themselves

Jersey 5 v Nottingham 1 Reds should take this but Notts will scrap it out
Can see a backlash from Islanders

Cornish Pirates 4 v Ampthill 1 Pirates to take it but not walkover.
Amps will hold their own up front but - significantly - without settled backline

Yorkshire Carnegie 1 v Ealing 5 One way traffic but Ealing need to up it
Not the best game for Carnegie to reverse their fortunes but it may be coming

predictions:
Hartpury 1 v London Scottish 4 - This is a game that Hartpury will target but I think Scottish will just have enough about them to win a close battle.
Bedford 0 v Newcastle 5 - I saw Bedford yesterday at Donny.. this could be a panning, especially as Falcons seem to be hitting their straps. Blues have to raise their game significantly to be a threat to Newcastle.
Coventry 4 v Doncaster 1 - I hope Donny can get a win here but Coventry are playing well so I think they'll get the victory at home.
Jersey 5 v Nottingham 1 - Jersey to continue their impressive home record, Nottingham a bit up and down so far.
Cornish Pirates 5 v Ampthill 0 - I think this could be a long afternoon for Ampthill, Pirates very strong this season.
Yorkshire Carnegie 0 v Ealing 5 - I'm afraid this could get messy for Carnegie. Ealing by 40 or 50.
