Id be surprised if Cambridge can break their duck - when you lose for so long, it becomes a habit. The team probably need a good psychologist rather than a rugby coach.
Will be heading down to Rossyln Park - hoping Scottish can take their form from the Sheffield game into this one. Quite a few of our old boys in their squad - and a few we should never have let go (Mr Mehson looking at you...)

Leeds Tykes v Bishop's Stortford
Two sides sitting exactly where you'd expect. Leeds are usually strong at home and I'd just give them the edge.
Prediction: Leeds by 7
Camborne v Sale FC
Arguably the game of the round. Camborne have been superb since promotion and The Rec is becoming a difficult place to visit. Sale are battle-hardened but this is a huge test.
Prediction: Camborne by 4
Bury St Edmunds v Birmingham Moseley
A game Bury will feel they need to win if they're to pull away from the lower reaches. Moseley are the more established National 1 outfit at present and are making a mockery of my early season prediction.
Prediction: Birmingham Moseley by 8
Plymouth Albion v Dings Crusaders
Albion look the benchmark side so far and Brickfields is rarely a happy hunting ground for visitors.
Prediction: Plymouth Albion by 15+
Rosslyn Park v London Scottish
Scottish have shown plenty of spirit since returning to National 1 but Park's attacking rugby usually generates points at home.
Prediction: Rosslyn Park by 10
Sheffield RUFC v Cambridge
Massive game at the bottom. Somebody gets an opportunity to put daylight between themselves and the relegation places. Home advantage may prove decisive.
Prediction: Sheffield by 5
Tonbridge Juddians v Rams
TJ's have started strongly and are deservedly second. Rams are always awkward opponents but TJ's should have enough at home.
Prediction: Tonbridge Juddians by 9
