Nottingham 5 vs 1 Caldy… Caldy have had 2 huge results, but both were at home. They travel to a very good side who just can’t finish off games at the moment. I think that the Green & Whites will be targeting this game to get their season shifting again. Should be entertaining though. Ampthill 1 vs 4Coventry… Cov are not so good on the road on grass pitches, but they looked the real deal against Jersey. The Mob are tough to beat at home. Really tricky to predict, but I will go for a tight away win. Hartpury 1 vs 4 Ealing… Tie off the week. Glos 2nds will be keen to show the PL wouldbies what to expect if they get promoted. Also coming off a good away win, they will be up for the challenge. Ealing will not like the surface, but with Jersey at home to the basement side, they will not want to slip up. An away win, but no fancy stuff, just get the win anyhow. Bedford 5 vs 0 Cornish Pirates… Blues at home are full of industry and running. Who knows which Pirates team turns up. Could be fun though. Richmond 4 vs 1 Doncaster… A rare home defeat last week and another tough game for Donny. Mond are a good side, Donny away are unpredictable. I think a tight home win. Jersey 5 vs 0 LS… Jersey to win well, but they will probably only get clear water in the last 20. ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

Nottingham 5 vs 0 Caldy - Notts strong at home and looking for a good win Ampthill 1 vs 4 Coventry - Lets see what character Cov have Hartpury 0 vs 5 Ealing - Ealing really need to step up!!! Bedford 5 vs 2 Cornish Pirates - Bedford too strong at home Richmond 4 vs 1 Doncaster - Form says Doncaster by a long way as Richmond on very poor run . . but!!! Jersey 5 vs 0 London Scottish - A few McQuins back to Quins? ------------- Run with it |

Nottingham 4-0 Caldy. An interesting one with Caldy enjoying themselves right now. I just think their run will be halted here. Ampthill 4-1 Coventry. A brave prediction but when these two teams play one another, home advantage tells. Hartpury 1-5 Ealing. Hartpury are the form team and could well score four tries. But Ealing should score more. Bedford 5-0 Pirates. Bedford should score at least four tries against a faltering Pirates team. Richmond 4-1 Doncaster. What on earth has happened to Doncaster's form. Unless they improve they could well lose this one too. Jersey 5-0 L Scottish. A 99% banker. ------------- Always trying to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. |

Nottingham 5 - 1 Caldy - Arrows to defend home pitch. Ampthill 1 - 4 Coventry - Coventry form side. Hartpury 5 - 0 Ealing - I genuinely don't like the team that Ealing is putting on the field this weekend, and they already haven't felt like they are clicking the last few weeks (losing to Caldy and struggling to Ampthill). Hartpury the other form side. Bedford 1 - 4 Cornish Pirates - I have a funny feeling about this match, and Pirates have seemed to be trending up. Richmond 0 - 4 Doncaster - Richmond have not been on great form, and Donny seem to be trending up. Jersey 5 - 1 London Scottish - I suspect that this will be fairly close due to lots of loanees. |

Ealing Trailfinders team to face Hartpury: Not at all sure about this squad, but hope they prove me wrong. Luke Daniels come back in after being taken out of the squad for Nathan Earle, who doesn't even make the 23. Malton comes back into the squad, presumably from injury, which I like (the return, not the injury). Gibbons seemed to struggle the last couple games, so unsure about him. Would rather see Will Davis. The thing that really makes me nervous is not having Rayn Smid in the squad. He organizes everything, and makes the team more than the sum of its parts. Last week he was on the bench, now he isn't in the 23. Performance was night and day. Will Montgomery is the better physical specimen at this point in their respective careers, but I'd select Rayn. Uzokwe starting is good, but I'd have put him at 6 and Tizanno at 7. Hope I'm wrong, but I'd have put my 100% top squad out for a form Hartpury side. 15. Jonah Holmes 14. Luke Daniels 13. Max Bodilly 12. Pat Howard 11. Cian Kelleher 10. Craig Willis 9. Craig Hampson 1. James Gibbons 2. Shaun Malton 3. Lewis Thiede 4. Bobby De Wee 5. Simon Linsell (C) 6. Rob Farrar 7. Simon Uzokwe 8. Will Montgomery Replacements: 16. Jan-Henning Campher 17. Kyle Whyte 18. George Davis 19. Danny Cutmore 20. Jack Digby 21. Jordan Burns 22. Steven Shingler 23. Carlo Tizzano |

| It has been quite a bounce from Caldy. When they returned empty-handed from the RAG at the start of December they had 8pts from as many games. Since then: 5 more games, 4 wins and 19 points, which is pretty impressive. |

Well done Caldy. What a breath of fresh air they are for this league. I remember some of the Caldy stalwart comments when they won promotion basically saying that ‘we don’t expect to win any games, but we are going to have a good time.’ …. Well, wrong on the first count, correct on the 2nd. So looking forward to their first visit to the island in March. ------------- Tackle Low!!!!! |

| Reds v Scottish finished 24-22. You won't get a more fortunate win with LS missing what would have been a last-kick DG and then a last-kick pen attempt. 8 tries, and exciting, but you'd have thought it was 2 sides in upper mid-table not 2nd v 12th |
Posted By: Abbotsman
Date Posted: 21 Jan 2023 at 18:04
Agree with you & wish Ealing good luck in the Prem. However I thought they were turned over easily at the breakdown several times first half and the penalty that led to the try just before half time was marginal IMO.

Bedford clearly blew Prates away, I didn't expect a win, but I didn't expect that as Pirates seemed to be improving since the New Year. A bit of a reality check for this young squad. Hope they can regroup for a tough test against Jersey next week. ------------- *Stalwart |

We all agree that these are good players who should be playing at a high level. However, is the best way to do that for the RFU to give money to a handful of clubs to employ them and then loan them out to other clubs of their choice. Firstly, it seems to distort the lower leagues. Secondly, there is still a risk that the chosen club can go bust. Thirdly, it probably inflates wages across the leagues. Finally, it does not seem to be the best system financially - money going through multiple hands with that many accountants costng money. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

Because of the geographical dominance of where the majority of prem sides are located, the talent too be loaned out is generally loaned in their area's, to the benefit of them tier 2, 3 clubs etc.

It hasn't been publicly yet. Updated to remove out-of-state / incorrect info. Thanks PI003. As the other overdue match in the Championship also involves Ampthill (v Nottingham), occurred (or rather, didn't) first it has priority for scheduling. Apparently this game is now scheduled for Feb 25th, which means the first weekend for Ampthill to play Coventry probably April 8th.

Nick you are right on the yet to be arranged Ampthill v Coventry fixture, but the game mentioned including Nottingham is in fact, Ampthill v Nottingham , and that has been arranged for the first available date which was February 25th. Hope this clears this up.
