Olly Adkins and Steele Barker.

Ealing 19 - Pirates 7 Beautiful break from a scrum to go 50m. Johnson dots down in the corner. Ealing have piped in cheering on the tannoy, an abomination. 38'.

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.

@Bluesman11 - you've completely missed the fact that this is a competition that the RFU have organised.

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

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.

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.
