Jersey 15 Chiefs 25. Going to be optimistic.

I too am hoping what looks like a strong team will come through with a W, so Reds 21 Chiefs 28

Reds 18 - 35 chiefs

Reds 23, chiefs 29

I see that after all of the sniping at us for fielding strong teams, Bristol have called up the 1st team for some match practice. I'm just going to mutter 'I told you so' under my breath...

Away with quite a few changes especially in the pack. in the front and second rows. No Josh Hodge. I think it may be hard to win away against a team that would like our scalp. Jersey 27 Chiefs 20. I hope I am wrong.

Think it will be tighter this week but going for Chiefs 35 Jersey 24

Interesting to see we've brought back 3 of our Pirates loanees for this game - still leaving 5 playing for Pirates against Cambridge.

Despite the changes, that still looks a strong side so would hope we can get a win over there - Reds 21 Chiefs 35

Reds 22 Chiefs 32

So many players getting no game time suggests we have a lengthy injury list and many of the younger forwards in our squad totally overlooked. Really not sure when some players will get game time this season if not in this competition?
Anyway, jersey have an excellent home record and with this in mind think they will edge out a win Jersey 28 Chiefs 24

Going to be interesting this one I think……ignoring my head I’m going with…..Jersey 20 chiefs 29

Jersey 18 - 37 Exeter

Jersey 24 - Chiefs 28

With literally no replies on their teams up thread I expect they are disgusted that their club would dare pick such a strong experienced side in a "development" competition 😉
Either that or they are busy tucking in to their humble pie......🙂

Jersey 18- 27 Exe but I could be wrong agin

Reds 16 Chiefs 47

Reds 15 Chiefs 32

Think it will be closer than previous results and hopefully a win
Jersey 25- 31 Chiefs

With all our injured hookers glad we’ve found some, going to be tough but believe we will come through better than anticipated. Quick wings and steady centres.

Don't understand how these players are not cup tied?

the only players who should not be able to play in this cup are those with a international cap to their name

Chiefs 35 Jersey 22

Reds 19 Chiefs 24

Very tough fixture but got to go with a win for Ex

Jersey 15 chiefs 34

Like others I feel this will be much closer than the previous two weeks, still feel we'll have too much for them.
Jersey 17 Chiefs 32

The silence is deafening! The temptation to put up a sarcastic post is strong! Well done all lfor rising above it!!

Poor start by us. Leaking penalties. Best way I can follow is by Jersey Reds twitter. Losing 10-5 at present
