British XV Round 8 Lodgement and banter thread,

[Ringo]

After the turmoil of last week what has this week in store for us. Will the table sort itself further or will it be more complicated? Which teams of the 5 currently on Top will remain there? Will some of the teams only one win behind jump them on %.

Let Round 8 begin?
Note that now we have returned to England and Wales HGA will again be available. be
Huddersfield Hawks v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs @ Galpharm Stadium
This match sees 9th v 11, The Hawks are coming off a strong win over Rams who were first on the table. The Hedgehogs have been very inconsistent thisseason and result may depend on which Hedgehog Team turns up but think Hawks may get over the line with HGA,
Staines Steins v Liverpool Rams @ Wheatsheaf Park
Rams will be smarting after last weeks defeat and should bounce back to form against the Steins.  They would not want to take the Steins lightlly or an upset will be on the cards.
Swansea Breakers v Blackpool Bunnies @ Swalec Stadium
Breakers may be too strong for the Bunnies but again would not want to take them lightly.
Birmingham Dragons v Grope Lane Giants @ St Andrews Stadium
This is the Giants chance to get the first win of the season.  Can they rise to the occasion  or will they just allow the Dragons a win? 
Oxford Owls v Crosby Cruisers @ Incheon Stadium
Form would say the Owls should have this comfortably with HGA. Cruisers on their day can challenge any time so again but feel they do not have the firepower to match the Owls this week.
Nottingham Hoods v Bradford Badgers @ Trent Bridge
This is my match of the round. Little separates these 2 teams. Hoods would be looking to maintain their position on the ladder and bounce back after last weeks loss to Leeches, but Badgers after a slow start to the season are starting to fire, Result may come down to the HGA with Hoods playing at home.
Leeds Leeches v Hastings Hurricanes @ Elland Road Stadium
The other match up that was vying for match of the round.  Leeches got over a determined Hoods outfit last week to join them on the top of the table. Hurricanes will be looking to bounce back from the disappointing effort against the Werewolves and re-establish themselves as title contenders. Again may come down to Leeches playing at home with crowd support getting them over the line.
Manchester Magic v Winchester Werewolves @ Old Trafford
Werewolves really flexed their muscles last week.  Hard to see the magic stopping the rampaging Werewolves this week.

Teams to be lodged before bounce Carlton/Geelong game on Friday Night.
