View on Saturday's Elite Matches

This weekend see's the penultimate round of matches in the Men's Elite series and could provide us with some entertaining games.

First up is the contest between Enkoping and Spartacus. With ERK at home and having enjoyed a rest last weekend they will be determined to put one over the team that managed to take a point off them earlier in the season. Coupled with the fact that the home side suffered an embarrassing defeat against Exiles in their last game, it is hard to see beyond a victory for them. Spartacus had a poor result against Hammarby last week and managed only 15 players for the trip. Why was that? one wonders. Hopefully they will have more players this week, but another loss for them on their travels is our prediction.

Goteborg entertain Hammarby and will be hoping for a spirited performance against the league leaders and potential gold medalists. Hammarby are flying at the moment and according to reports are playing entertaining rugby. Grf on the other hand have been at the receiving end of some hammerings and will be hoping for more than a miracle to take points from this outing. In all probability they will be concentrating on next week's game in order to avoid the dreaded drop. A convincing away win for the visitors to cement their place at the top of the table.

Last but not least, Exiles make the long trip to Pingvin. Before last Saturday's rest, Exile's were the form team and should they carry on with the brand of flowing rugby they were showing then, they will most certainly run away with a big score. Yet, Pingvin at home are a hard side to conquer and could give their visitors a bit of a rude awakening, especially if the men in black are too confident. However, with all due respect to the host's, Exiles should be too strong and will retain second place in the table. The more important match will be for Pingvin at least, next week's home game against Grf, and consequently their thoughts may stray to that encounter.
