I've not followed the league at all, I'm aware of some of the sides from encounters in Nat 2 in the past, but if I am to have a hope in the predictions league I need to get up to speed.
My old club will no doubt be already making plans for the playing team, I'd like to get a grasp from the spectators point of view.
Looking at this years league and your collective efforts at predicting games results, it's clear there are differences. There seems to be a nucleus of sides who have been in Nat 1 for a while and some who are more familiar to me.
In Nat 2 a lot of games go with home advantage and the predictions usually follow the trend, the results don't always match this of course. It's easy to pick away winners this late in the season, you just look at the league positions, do we have a plan for the start of the season or are we just winging it and saying a prayer for our own side ? lol
There will be four new sides, looks like London Scottish will be one coming down and two of the three we know coming up, I'm already looking forward to next season well before this one's finished.

Congratulations on the Leicester Lions promotion (as Champions?).  However, it might be a bit premature to say that London Scottish will be relegated.  Unlike death and taxes, nothing is permanent or definite in the world of Championship rugby or the governance of it! Anyway, late March is far, far too early to predict the formation or makeup of the Championship, or any other divisions!  I mean , clubs can easily predict cash flows, preparations and signings for teams in June/July can’t they?! 
Some things, sadly, never change
