| Should hopefully be a good contest, Doncaster in good form and look capable of posing a real challenge.
Strong squad named for ourselves, don't think there are any changes from Sunday, which shows we are taking it seriously. Think I am correct in saying we train on the Rosslyn Park pitch? Hopefully the familiarity can give us an edge, especially if the weather is crap and we have another knock-onfest!

| The edge should be the standard of comp that we play in, hoping I can make it down to watch, only managed one home game so far. There is an U14s game before hand if anyone wants to support junior game in london

| I know it's unlikely, but is there anywhere your guys have any commentary etc of games anywhere?. Being a Saturday and a day scheduled for a train strike has made it quite difficult for a lot of Dons fans to get there but keen to keep up to date

I’m afraid not. We aren’t very good at that type of thing. A win would be if our Twitter page offers some updates. Often we find it better to go on our opponents feed. Sorry to hear about the train strike. The one down hear got called off but it will still take over an hour and a half for me to get there. Anyway all the best.

| Our twitter updates are usually pretty good so that will keep you updated on scores.
I do the updates for Facebook but won’t be there so will be stealing it from Twitter!
Cheers, and you. Here’s hoping for an injury free day

Broncos are far too shambolic to do anything like a live commentary. Twitter updates assuming they haven't taken the day off.

| Great quote from Cake in his pre-match interview “It’s a different challenge this week with Doncaster, we don’t know too much about them, but obviously we’ve done our homework.”.
Perhaps the dog ate the homework then.

| Strange game. We were poor first half playing in a similar manner to last Sunday and went in at 16-16. Much more direct at the start of the second half and went onto rack up 50 unanswered points for a very comfortable win. Rosslyn Park F.C. was a perfectly adequate venue for the match with a decent enough crowd (quite possibly more than there would have been at PL). Seemed to be quite a few of the hosts fans present which is good. There was a burger van for those wanting food and a nice pint of Wandle at the bar.

| Shocking first 40 minutes from London, extremely worrying better opposition would have posted a lot more points than donny did. Second half I think donny just ran out of steam which was the difference.
Negatives, London have very little clue what to do on last tackle. Even in second half couldn't seem to come up with anything. Giving away a set restart on Yr own 20 5th tackle unforgivable.
Positives, second half support play much better. Discipline seemed generally better, apart from too many ptb infringements.
That first half performance thought London had found there level!

| Counting heads I reckon around 400 mark! A decent number of donny fans to be fair and credit to em noisy enough.

| Quite a few unforced errors first half let Donny back in after dominant start. Obviously Eccles got into them at half time. We badly need a better kick option. Does anyone know if Plough Lane is available for the next round?

Totally agree Buzza although the tries by Leyland Snr and Junior in first half were excellent.Doncaster had some brights spells and I thought their 29 caused us problems but the kind of folded and we kept flooding through the middle. Basset, Leyland Snr and Ulberg were our best players. I thought the ground was perfectly fine for the 200/250 that were there seemed the right size. On the burger van I was surprised how slow service was but less surprised than hearing that the Robert (the Holmes part of the sign had fallen off) Stand was not due for demolition. If that stand passes it’s next health and safety something is genuinely wrong.

I looked very carefully and I could only see one guy who looked like he was part of a wider coaching team. What happened to all that Eccles as director with additional coaching staff malarkey. If I had to guess, which I do, I think it’s just him doing two jobs with some physio’s. No wonder he’s so miserable in the video interviews. Who can blame him. Anyway Wembley here we come.

| A good result all told, but probably a game we had to work a bit harder than anticipated to dominate in. Thought we started the first half in fairly strong fashion and like the Swinton game, our defence was generally strong, but we allowed errors and poor decisions to creep in. Tbf to Donny they made the most of the opportunities and put on some nice scores.
Must have had a bit of a flea in the ear at half time as we were much more direct and dominated through the middle second half. We are a powerful team when we get a roll on but we seem to avoid doing the hard yards at times, which is frustrating.
I've criticised Horsman and Macani previously, but thought they both had decent games. Never thought I'd see Horsman fold an opposition backrower, but he did in the first half and put himself about. Both Leylands were very good again too, nice to see Bill shaping up into a real solid first-grader. Bit of a worry on Will Lovell, came off injured and looked to be really struggling.
All in all a pretty convincing scoreline after an inconsistent start and nice to keep the cup run and winning momentum going.

| Some soft running from some Albert in particular took ball at standstill and fell into tackles.

From most, but Emmanuel’s tank job run in the second half certainly lifted things.
